With glossy foliage like that, its modern.

Raspberry cream twirl maybe ?

Thanks Lilyfinch. It does match Raspberry cream twirl.

I love it!

I also guess it could be a raspberry cream twirl. Does it look like yours? I actually like it better than red Eden myself.

Edit: my RCT bloom is not small. It is at least 3.0 inch. Light fresh smell not much of fragrance

Thanks for the picture . The leaves match exactly too. Bloom size may go up for mine this season.

I'm surprised. HCR doesn't carry that rose this year and I don't recall them having it last year either.

It's gorgeous. If you had ordered it from Heirloom then I'd say it's definitely Raspberry Cream Twirl ( I think they're the only growers of it). I'm not familiar with anything from High Country Roses that would look like this.

Could it be Variegata di Bologna?

AllSass_CA10b: They look similar and HCR offers it. I will see if mine develops fragrance as Variegata di Bologna is very fragrant.

I think Paul is correct in saying that it's not an old rose.... The glossy leaves make it look modern.

Looks identical to my Raspberry Cream Twirl as well!

Maybe hes growing up a mother plant that isnt ready for sale yet, and you accidentally got one. Id give him a call and see what he says.

Looks like raspberry cream twirl to me also.

I agree with @forever_a_newbie_VA8 about fragrance and flower size, which most of the time is closer to 4". I just bought Red Eden from High Country Roses so I really hope they send me the correct rose because I already have Raspberry Cream Twirl. :(

My goodness...such gorgeous Raspberry Cream Twirl pictures!!!

RCT is a great rose!

Give Matt a call and see what he says

At the least he will want to get you your red Eden

I am liking the RTC and will be keeping it. No space left for Red Eden in my garden. It was just a happy accident.

Dianela - WOWZA!!! Those are heavenly blooms!!!

Did you ever ask Matt about it?? I'd be too curious not to.

Me, too!

I sent email to HCR about it. I will let you all know what they say. I do want to update my original post as the bloom size has already gone up with new blooms to 3.5 inches. No fragrance yet.

Tututara, good to know your bloom gets bigger. that is what mine is like, close to 4 inch. The nice thing about HCT is the blooms, although not a particular bright color, does standout in a distance, thanks to the good contrast with the glossy green leaves
