Love this rose and hope someone new will start to sell it. As a single rose, it has held up in our horrible wind storms and heat which one never finds with mini single-petaled roses. It blooms in clusters and singles. In it's first year with me, it has performed spectacularly. It is extremely clean and continually blooms with a lovely honey fragrance. I am not sure why this is a lavender colored rose. It is pink. It has long golden stamens which will make it a big contender in the mini single category in shows. Easily sets hips.

Excellent and very useful commentary on the rose. All the more valuable as it is based on personal experience.

First blooms are nice with good exhibition potential. Mine is a lighter pink with the white reverse. Very long lived flower with nice clean foliage.

This rose has been reclassified as a mini-flora now by the ARS.

Kathy, I cannot find this rose at all in the Modern Roses database, either under Sharon's Delight or MORsharon?

Should be there under both. If it's not, I'll enquire. But FYI, ARS is coming out with a newly revamped database in early July.

I could not see it. Can you?

This rose should be a floribunda. Too big of a flower for MF.

Disagree. I showed it yesterday at the San Diego county fair as a miniflora single and it won its class. It is the same size as several other miniflora singles -- Poppy, Sunglow, Maroon 8, Tom Mayhew. It would be much too small to compete in the floribunda single classes like Playboy and Playgirl. The plant itself is also quite small for me -- good for a pot which is how I have it.

Mine is the size of Paul Eckes, Jr

Paul Ecke Jr. is not a florabunda -- it is officially classed as a "shrub." Moreover, here it has smaller miniflora-like size flowers, but generally in large, fairly widely spaced clusters, on a big plant. Shannon's Delight generally forms its blooms singly, and on a small plant. The possible variations on plant size and bloom type in roses are endless, and any classification system is bound to have outliers. C'est la vie.

This rose, from what I have seen, has dark electric coral blooms, with classic HT form. They are not overly large, about French Lace size, but there are a lot of them.

I got this rose in an auction and the hot coral pink color description is right one the mark.

I hope it comes back on the market.
