Mislabeled rose? Can anyone help to identify this beautiful pink rose?

last modified: 4 years ago

I just bought 2 of these beautiful roses from Lowes. The label shows this is Le Petit Prince Hybrid Tea rose, but the blooms do not match the picture. When I googled Le Petit Prince rose, the blooms look totally different (to me) and that it is supposed to be lavender color and this one I bought is definitely pink. Additionally, this one says it is a hybrid tea while when I googled around, LPP is a Floribunda. I am so confused now. Does anyone know what this rose actually is? Is it really LPP?






Here is a picture of LPP from Heirloom Rose website:

    Doesn't look like it to me. Totally different number of petals. I'm no expert but if I take a stab at it, hopefully one will chime in Scentuous?

    My Petit Prince didn’t look like the one on Heirloom roses picture but it was definitely a floribunda. Whatever you got is gorgeous!! Also, my Petit Prince was more pink than mauve of that helps.

    @tozmo1 Scentuous does look similar. I read somewhere in houzz that someone just bought Scentuous from Lowes recently so it might be!

    @rosecanadian @MasLovesRoses_z8a GA I agree, they are gorgeous! I actually got another one so now I have 3! The thing is, I want to plant them in the front flowerbed as a rose hedge but since I don't exactly know what this rose is, I won't know its growth habit and how big it can get.

    Also, I bought 3 Moonlight in Paris rose from Lowes as well last week and the bloom is almost exactly the same as this LPP! Weirdly, this one does not look like MIP either. Could both of them be mislabeled? Now I have 6 of basically the same roses, lol. Here is a picture of MIP (color is a bit washed out but they have the same pink color in real life.

    @Diane Brakefield Thank you Diane, I think you might be right to guess this is Scentuous. I even think my Moonlight in Paris is Scentuous as well. Both bought from Lowes a week apart. I just think it is odd for them to mislabel several roses when they are all actually the same rose.


    On another note, I have Colette coming from HR next week and I also just purchased Kordes Florentina in 1-gal pot from the same Lowes. I have to check Lowes often as people have been buying plants like crazy here in Houston, TX. I am hoping to find Bolero there soon.

    I just came back from Lowes, and they had what they actually labelled Scentuous (by Certified Rose) this time. However, now I am doubting this one is actually Scentuous. Lowes has been having a lot of mislabeling lately. I am so sure the Moonlight in Paris and Le Petit Prince I got last time was the real Scentuous and that this new "Scentuous" I just got is actually something else. Here are some of the pictures. The petals have white and dark pink color and the inside is apricot. the leaves are lighter green. Can anyone guess what this one actually is? My guess is this is Marc Chagall rose.
