Is Red Cracker the same as Louis Philippe? They seem similar and a synonym for Louis Philippe is the Florida Rose.

No, it is a very different rose than 'Louise Phillipe'. The flowers are a much darker red and have white streaks in the petals. The petals do not get lighter in color at the tips of the petals. I will post a photo.

I don't think everyone agrees about whether or not there is only one 'cracker rose'. I think the phrase has been used by some to describe any of the crimson China Roses that thrive in Florida, including 'Louis Philippe'. Others think there is one "Cracker Rose" that has been found growing in various parts of Florida, and whose original name is unknown.
