Well, I don't know. I looked at both those roses on Help Me Find and I guess it could be. Maybe there was something about the way this GW member grew this rose or pruned it that gave it a little different look to it. And the color of the rose on the arbor seems a little coral to me, but that could just be the camera or the light. Thanks for the help. :-)

About 15 years ago A couple I know from central FL. did this with several different varieties grafted onto one bush. They called it "Slick Willy". Weird looking thing. Didn't last long.

There is a Western Azalea native to the area and it has a lot of color variability so one has to buy it in bloom to see what color they will really be getting. I remember it was called Rhododendron occidentale (latin name) but I forgot the most important part... its bloom color. No idea??? but you can check around. Other possibilities to check: Flame Azalea, aka, Rhododendron calendulaceum or Cumberland Azalea, aka, Rhododendron cumberlandense

Thanks, Rosefolly! It is always good to have a new rose book, and one on rose problems is a nice change. Jackie
