I'm not sure of the origin. It was a plant that I purchased at Home Depot. I have added a picture to my original post.

Isn't this one of the striped Christensen floribundas? Looks like 'Claude Monet' to me.

It's not Claude Monet or any of the other 85 striped roses I grow, which list includes most of the Christensen striped roses. Blooms are smaller than Claude Monet (a hybrid tea) and have more petals. Also, the background color is apricot, which is unusual for a striper. Claude Monet's background color is yellow. It is a floribunda, I think. I believe it was marketed (again by Home Depot) under the name "Swirling Orange" a few years ago. The plant has very few thorns, and only near the bases of the canes. The flowering stems are free of thorns.

Same bloom as shown in the other 4 photos after it had opened fully. Does this look familiar to anyone?

I grow it, and so do HMF members Mike Gleason, Beth's Northern CA Rose Garden and JMile. We've all been looking for more info on it for some time now, to no avail. Home Depot says they get their roses from MEA Nurseries in Lindale, Texas, but MEA Nurseries reps have said "not mine" to us. It gets sold with other Jim Coiner roses at Home Depot, so we contacted him too, and he also disclaimed it. If anyone here can help figure this one out, it would be appreciated. It is a great little rose and not like any other striped rose in my collection.

Thank you for sharing your research with us. Hopefully someone in the HMF community can shed some light on this.

Let's start with the basics. One cannot even tell what class a rose belongs to just from a photo of the bloom. In my experience the striping which can be very strong when the blooms is freshly open, fades to the softer look of this photo.
It helps to see foliage, thorns, and other details of the rose.
