I lost the label. All last year I thought it was Papa Meilland: it didn't bloom at all in its first year. Most of the new roses in that bed behaved the same way. But the Papa Meilland I ordered was from S&W - so I guess it might be from there. In either case, it is from a 2011 catalog. The blossoms are not very big, sometimes reaching 3" across. They are a delightful mix of pink and yellow that frequently produces some popsicle orange. At one point this year the whole narrow top of the plant was covered with roses. Otherwise, in plant habit and flower form, it looks like it must be a HT. Several of my HTs have been doing that - making six or eight or ten fully formed flowers on relatively short (6-8 inch) stems: NOID, Gemini, Grand Dame. Perhaps there's some floribunda in their history that comes out when they are young and growing vigorously.
I have been amazed with Day Breaker's ability to make and hold pretty flowers. At this moment it's difficult to see the foliage for the flowers. I'm sorry to hear that local pests seek it out for food. I feel especially lucky in that regard. Many of the pests in my garden - rabbits and grasshopers for example - seem to prefer the foliage of pigweed to that of roses.
