Can't help on the Deruiter roses - I've never heard of them. The red / pink thing is most probably caused by that not actually being a single rose plant. Instead with these mass produced mini pots, what you usually get is 3 to 6 rooted cuttings, which are not always of the same rose. Alternatively it could be a sport, but I'm guessing cuttings. I get given these by well meaning relatives who are vaguely aware that I like roses - I let them bloom themselves out, then carefully split the cuttings and repot in fresh potting soil and grow on before planting out. When I've just repotted them I'm careful to make sure they dont get too hot/dry but that's the extent of the care I take, and usually most of the pieces survive.

They look nice! I got some grocery store mini roses once which turned out to be 4 different rose cuttings...

Thanks. I thought they probably put that in by mistake. So I got a bonus plant. Red was the only color offered, other than that one stem.

Yes, Jim. I am pretty impressed with the plant right now. Hope I can keep it looking this nice. I think I counted 6 cuttings and they are not that close together so should be easy to separate.

I have a vague memory of DeRuiter being a Dutch producer, mostly for the cut flower market. No guarantees, but searching European data bases might help.

Stillann, they seem to be based in Holland and show their plants as being either on European market, African, or South American. Website didn't mention a Canadian market. Maybe rosecanadian would know? Still wondering how they would end up in South Florida.

deRuiter was a very careful Dutch breeder. Hortico used to carry some of his roses. I grew Lyric, Chestine Gowdy, Europeana and Kimono. When you got one of his roses you knew it would be hardy and have no disease. The flowers were not what you would describe as exciting.

I used to have two de Ruiter roses, Scandica and Europeana. The latter was the only mildewed rose I've ever had so it's gone now. HMF lists 10 pages of de Ruiter roses.

Thanks to everyone for the input.

Oldrosarian, Good to know they are hardy. I agree these blooms are not exactly exciting, but this plant caught my eye as very healthy looking.

Mariannese, Thanks for the Hmf info. I was not aware that you could look up roses by breeder. I found the pages. A lot have no pics, but maybe I'll get lucky and find out what these are.

Beth, What can I say, other than beautiful pics, as always! I hope you find your Diorama. It's very pretty. They all are, but I really like the Sweet Unique also.
