MargieNY, that's certainly a beautiful spray of roses, well photographed & so very pleasing to the eyes. Is it some variety offered form David Austin, by any chance?

Thank you Zuzu - a compliment from you means a lot to me. It's been said many times, "Zuzu, knows her roses". I photographed many roses in 2018 and this was my favorite photo because it reminds me of a botanical drawing.

Thank you Melissa & ShawnSteve - appreciate it.
This unusual colored florist rose is named Acropolis bred by Meilland. It fades to a greenish white color. It performed well for me here on Long Island, producing numerous cupped blooms from Spring to Late Fall.

Thank you for your response. I had a 'Rouge Royale' & absolutely loved it, all except for some black spot. Fairly certain it was by the exact same breeder.
