        Good Morning @wiseowl, I'd say it was salmon pink (pinky red if that makes sense :scratch:). :grphg:

              Seem to remember in my long and distant past, a pink rose named Carroll?
              Not sure whether this is childhood false recall or was actually true.
              I think I remember mum growing it and dad liking it.
              Can anyone help put me out of my misery?
              Done a sketchy Internet search but not come up with anything
              so help much appreciated! Thanks

                    Thanks Woo and Armandii
                    The rose you have posted Woo, looks very much how I remember Carroll.
                    I will ask mum one day and try and get to the bottom of it.
                    Thank you both again for your time and trouble!

                            This rose has certainly lived up to being a large flower rose. The flowers were never this big last year

                            And my new on this year has starting to flower. Im hoping its more yellow as it opens

                              This morning I ordered 2 Ebbs Tide Roses from Cants of Colchester, I'm most impressed with their customer service, I had an email this afternoon to inform me that the roses will be delivered by 4 o'clock tomorrow! I shall let you know what happens....

                                Most of my roses came from Cants @Beckie76 and I couldn't fault them. Roses, packaging and delivery, all spot on! :)
