This rose is an unidentified rose in the Ringling Rose Garden in Sarasota, Florida. I wondered if it is Lynn Anderson. It is very pale pink/white with dark rasberry tone edges, a hybrid tea. It has appr 40+ petals, and a moderate fragrance. The photo does not do it justice with the dark edges. It is more noticeable on the live rose. I will try to download the picture. I know it is not secret, paradise, Ken Davis, Princesse de Monaco, the petal count is wrong on those. I think it is not Sheila's perfume either, not enough yellow tones in the center.

Loretta, your unidentified rose is showing very dark green foliage, as do many of the shots of Lynn Anderson. But some users have commented on how large the foliage is...I'm not seeing that in your shots. I suggest you try to take a bit of a closeup of the leaves and of the canes.

Thanks for the input. I read the description of Lynn Anderson in th e Weeks catalog and it stated that it has unbelievably long stems and large resistant leaves that fill out to the bottom. As this rose is still such a baby it is hard to tell for a novice like me. But I will keep on trying.
