Is this the same rose as the peach-buff 'Chiffon' used by florists?

I doubt it (but I could be wrong). The 1940 'Chiffon was said to be "blush pink tinted with light lavender" in the only reference I have been able to find.

Thanks, Patricia. Since I saw a recent talk by Grace Rose Farm of Santa Ynez, California, I've become interested in how different many of the most desired florists' roses look (old fashioned, muddied or muddled colors plus many petals) from commercially available garden roses (even Austins). Grace Rose Farms grows them organically outdoors here in CA so we know they're not all greenhouse- or chemical-dependent. Unfortunately many of these roses don't yet appear on HMF.

Linda, in your search for more information on the Florists’ roses, if you see anything that contains the rose name, breeder and code name, give us details of the reference for each rose and we will add them as quick as lightning.

Grace Rose Farm just put out a list of roses they will be offering in 2024 and 2025. Most are not on HMF. I am trying to get information on each rose. Most of them are by Interplant and Evers/Tantau and De Ruiter.

We call this Kim Rupert rose one of our "fruit tree roses" - thornless roses that will grow up a fruit tree and add color. The color of this rose and the bloom shape remind us of bougainvillea. Great rose!
