This was given to me last year (along with another that the Road Crew so lovingly cut down to about 10") after it was done blooming. We are very impressed with it! Such a pretty hot pink burst to contrast a small area. I need to get some better pictures of it, I just hastily snapped this one walking down to the creek earlier and wanted to share it. Smiling The paler pink are ones that have been bloomed out a few days, but the first couple of days the new blooms are bright, hot pink. Maybe this one, or something similar? Rose (Rosa 'Neon')

There are so many pink roses that it's almost impossible to come up with a definitive ID, but you've chosen a good possibility. Kordes has used the name 'Neon' for at least three roses, but this particular one, more commonly called 'Sweet Vigorosa,' has been popular for several years now, and it has the same blooms and habit as your rose.

Thank you a lot for your response and knowledge! I had never had a rose bush before. I am pretty happy with it, I do like vibrant colors. Lovey dubby

I can see why you are happy with that rose.
