I'm starting to think that between the color, form, low petal count, peta shape, long peduncles, breeder, and timing, that this might be Sunsprite x Friesensohne. Put another way, a floribunda version of 'Midas Touch'.

At ‘Fortune’s Double Yellow’ Paul Barden commented “FDY is largely infertile as a female parent…” so when we discovered a ripe hip on a FDY bush we seized it and passed it on to Kim Rupert who successfully sprouted the seed. The result was a pink, single-petalled climber with droopy foliage, unlike the glossy leaved double yellow blend of its parent, ‘Fortune’s Double Yellow’. We’ve given it the name “Kim’s Fortunate Surprise”.

Rather than add a synonym of ‘Kim’s Fortunate Surprise’ to ‘FDY Seedling’, I think it may be better to just alter the name to ‘Kim’s Fortunate Surprise’.
I am also inclined to drop the pollen parent listed leaving just Seedling of Fortune’s Double Yellow. Please advise.

Great! Kim deserves the credit. And I also agree, the pollen parent should be dropped.

Rosewild sent me three seeds from the FDY hip. Peter Harris in West Virginia excised the embryos from the seeds and raised the three seedlings, which he sent me. I raised them to large plants. One was semi double and bright pink. Its flowers were rather misshapen A second was single and pink like this one, but with smaller flowers. This is the third. I discarded the first two due to room and this being the more desirable seedling. It continued growing and getting rather large. It only made sense to pass it back to Rosewild who has the room to allow it to mature and live its best life!

I picked up a Marc Chagall at Home Depot. Own root. The tag is says: "Marc Chagall (TM), Floribunda Rose, my painter's palette - Inspired by the Great French Impressionists" The back of the tag it has the "PEPINIERES ET ROSERAIES GEORGES DELBARD" logo, the inside has the 'CERTIFIED' logo. What I find interesting is that the TAG shows the patent name to be (DELstricol). The Delbard website, and most of the USA websites selling the rose list it as DELstrirojacre.

Odd! Perhaps you might like to add photos of the tag. We have:
1996. Camille Pissaro DELstricol. yellow, striped with red.
2013 Marc Chagall. DELstrirojacre. Pink, striped with cream.

Looks like the tag is printed with incorrect info - easy enough to do, and most people won't care. As you have commented: DELstricol is actually the rose Camille Pissarro, a "yellow, red striped" rose. Marc Chagall is listed as a "pink, yellow stripes, cream stripes, yellow undertones" rose. I'm not sure that the pictures on the tag match which plant, or another. The bush I have is young, but it is growing similar to a floribunda. Beautiful rose so far.
