Zuzu - Could be.. I bought it as Lady Banks Pink (that's what the tag said). I believe she's thornless.. unfortunately I have right next to my Charles de Mills who's got enough thorns for himself & her & 5 other roses all at the same time. LOL! He's a grabby rose, that's for darned sure. I definitely need to move him... he's too blood thirsty to be where he's at. I put him right next to my porch as I wanted some climbing roses going up my overhang pillar and I saw that he's supposed to be thornless per HMF. Well, he definitely isn't thornless, that's for sure!! I could switch Lady Banks w/Charles de Mills & put CdM some place else.. where I don't have to walk by every time I want to get to the water faucet.

You know, the more I look at pix of CdM on HMF, the more I'm convinced that RU had this one mismarked. The color is right, but the flowers are definitely not flat or cupped.. more closer to a traditional "florist" rose look than not. I just have to wait to see if he's going to bloom more than one time.
