In my yard it grows to 3 to 4' high and about 4' to 5' wide. It is very disease resistant. In the last two brutal winters it dies to the ground but had some cane left in mild winters The blooms are 2" to 21/2" and it is a spray bloomer. Most sprays having 40 to 70 buds. Then it takes a short break while it develops the next sprays. Flowers right now are med pink and cream but they darken as it warms up.

New growth is reddish and thorns are a deep red. The last photo isn't very great but shows bush at the end of last season.

Looks like to many petals to be pink Knockout...??? Our neighbor has both the regular and Double pink KO's but either looks like your bloom to me...

Nice looking rose whatever it is...

It does look like Lavender Crystal! It is raining hard here now, so I cannot tell you if it is fragrant. It is just a baby, and I don't think it even bloomed last year for some reason. I moved it this spring, and seems to have come back from the brink and is prospering. Thanks for your help!

I'm the least knowledgeable person here regarding roses, so I may be way off the mark and feel free to disregard. This is just drawing off my general gardening experience. Usually, when plants are dry, all of the leaves droop. Leaves turn yellow and go quickly from yellow to brown and crunchy. When plants are overwatered, the leaves also turn yellow but there isn't drooping (until they get really, really mad about it). I don't see any drooping leaves on your plant like you normally would on one that's dry and wants water. Is it possible that you are overwatering? Just a thought... Carol

@Kimi Calif. Bay Area 9b I found guides like this helpful in learning what I like or don't like in roses, and how to describe them. It's helpful to search for the terms you like in google/hmf to find additional varieties, or even just for the filters on more advanced rose sellers (rogue valley or heirloom come to mind). My personal favorite are cupped/globular very full roses that are pastel colors

I appreciate your try at naming the rose rabains. There's no sent to the rose but it's not a knock out. Thou those thorns are somewhat like a knock out.

Looks similar to my Strawberry Ice aka Bordure Rose?

Thanks Jim, it's a favorite since the day I got it.

Nummy, I did order that rose about 12 years ago. I'm off to check it out.

I'm not sure it's the closest I've seen so far. Do you grow Bordure by any chance or maybe you've seen it. The flower on mine does darken and has fewer petals as the season wears on. Some of the photos on Help Me Find seem lighter in color. Every Rose.com is down right now. There are two Bordure roses. Mine came from Ashdown Roses. Just reread above and you do have it. I've been searching for eight years for the name of this rose.

How about PINK GRUSS AN AACHEN ?

It could be one of the pink flower carpet roses, maybe. I think they may have been released in the U.S under other names, though.

Mine doesn't get much darker than your photo, but it is in the shadiest corner of my garden. Hope you figure it out!

Thanks Beth, I had Pink Gruss but had to shovel prune. Couldn't keep her clean when I went no spray. At one time I had a good 600 roses but I wasn't getting any younger. RRD or the shovel for disease took out most of those. Lost some due to Dr. Huey root stock which won't grow for me. This rose and Rosarie d'hay are the last 2 left from the early days.

Much appreciated guess ozmelodye, but not a flower carpet. I have the flower carpet series.

I'm nearly positive it is a polyantha. At one time I had many of them, The flower is semi double but many singles at the end of the year, No sent, shiny foliage a mix of larger leaves and small. The color is variable from this lighter pink to much darker but always has some cream in the center. The flower matches La Marne perfectly but I'm not seeing any smaller leaves mixed in with the larger leaves on help me find. She grows up but very full so that you can not see the ground underneath.
