I never heard of a rose but as a trees yes. Bumbing this thread back up. Hoping Kim, Dr, Malcolm, Jeri or anyone who knows about this rose might see this.

Betty Prior is one rose that resembles a pink dogwood

Recently, several other landscape roses have this look too

Did you get your "Dogwood" hybrid tea from A Reverence for Roses? I think it is beautiful. It resembles a flower from a white dogwood tree, but with more petals.

You are right, there is little information on this rose, bred by James Baily. Maybe you could click on the garden tab on Help Me Find Roses and write to someone who is growing it. The parents are Dainty Bess and Crystalline.

Dainty Bess is a pink single with burgundy stamens

I think the two of them would be great together.

Jasminrose, thanks for putting up the link of that rose. I just click on it. Wow, I love the simplicity of that rose and a huge contrast of the stamens. Looks beautiful.

Perma, you have to update this information. Better still you can upload in HMF for future generations.

I almost bought the trees about 4 years ago but never knew there was a rose, too. I love the flowers very much.

Yes, I did get this one from A Reverance For Roses. Thank you so much aplantloverkat for sharing both your experience and what Don Rogers told you about this rose. I’m thrilled to hear it likes heat & humidity! :-)

Plantloverkat, those comments are valuable information and would be a great addition to the Help Me Find Roses page Comments section, if you could add them, it would be most appreciated.

That’s really cool Jin—maybe something I can contribute to help others as much as they’ve helped me—love it!

I might not have considered this one, if Carol hadn’t encouraged me to also do singles for the bees. I have lots of fruit trees, and am hoping by adding a few singles to the mix I’ll increase my pollinator traffic. I also realized I have quite a few doubles in various shades of pinks in this area and am going to use this one to break up all that pink. I do tend to favor the full & blowsy-type blooms, but saw someone else’s garden pictures (sorry, cannot recall right now whose!) and realized how striking the singles are mixed in and how they create more variety. And I love the red stamens on this one—it’s what I love about Dogwood’s mama, Dainty Bess, so I’m really excited to get this one in my garden. I’ve always thought design was much better as a collaboration—so thank you kind forum members!

I'll bet your bees are going to love this rose! :-) Carol

First, there was a nickname for some variety of the once blooming species rose that some people called the Dogwood Rose, obviously different from what you have.

Now about Dogwood trees in Florida: Don't waste your time. A neighbor in New Orleans had one, and the heat was a disaster for the blooms. As in, blooms opened at 9am and shriveled to nothing from the heat by 4pm. Often the owners wouldn't see it bloom. I did, because I was painted the side of our back house one day which happened to be "the" day that year.

Ha, ha, Ann! A lesson in the real reason why we should maintain our homes' exteriors: to admire our gardens from fresh perspectives. Well, so much for the misclassification of certain dogwoods. Those glorious fluffs of pink and white are not-so-much Cornus FLORIDA in nature. :-) Interestingly, they grow rather nicely in Portland, which is decidedly not in Florida, but even here Cornus kousas are healthier and lower maintenance.
