The new J&P catalog arrived in the mail yesterday. Not only are they trying to pass off a slew of minis as hybrid teas (all of the ones with registration names beginning with BEN), but they've also renamed at least two of their earlier roses.

The ones featured prominently as "2013 New Introductions" (and being offered at the "bargain price" of $39.95 each!) are almost certainly older. 'Clouds of Glory' appears to be the one they called 'Cinderella' when they still had their contract with Disney and then renamed 'J&P Chardonnay' when they lost that contract.

'Soft Whisper' is clearly a new name for 'Crescendo,' which they described as "soft as a whisper" and "whisper-soft" in two earlier catalogues.
