Could 'Blessed Child' be a sport of 'Happy Child'?

I was at Rogue Valley Roses late last year, wandering around the gardens...not very much was in bloom, but there was one large bush at the far end of the property that caught my eye. It had shell-pink blooms and as I approached I found they exuded a glorious scent. I was immediately entranced! I searched for a tag or sign to identify the rose but there wasn't any I could see; but the rose made such an impression that I filed it away for future reference...This summer when I had a chance I asked Janet which rose it was, and she beamed at me with pleasure. "That's Blessed Child!" she exclaimed. Needless to say, I had to have one! Janet's pride in her rose-child is well justified!

Blessed Child is the largest and best blooming of the thirty roses I bought last year. The blossoms are large, very fragrant, numerous, and began blooming very early in the season. Like the previous poster, I am surprised this is not a more popular/better known rose. While several other roses have been weakened by blackspot, Blessed Child just has a few small spots and leaves it has not yet lost. I do spray some with organic copper soap sprays.

Addendum 1 year later--sadly, Blessed Child was at her best during the first two flushes. She had far fewer blooms during the heat of summer. She never did get much blackspot, though.
