Rose bush experts: Looking for old fashioned variety called "peach rose". Help?

We want to get a very special gift for Mom's caregiver, and she had mentioned in passing an old-timey rose bush called "peach rose". She described the flowers as pink (not peach colored as I would have thought), and miniature, in small clusters. She said you don't see it too much anymore, but it might help me locate it if I knew more about it. Her description was a little sketchy.


Does anyone out there know what she's talking about - and even better, where I could find it? Thanks for any help you can give!

Sounds like "Margo Koster" which is a Polyantha and fairly hardy. Margo's bloom like crazy and are great in pots. The link below will give you more info and photos. Might not be the exact rose, but certainly fits the description and is really very lovely.

Reply:That sounds like a local name for a rose, not a real name for a certain variety. Often times people have a general regional name for something that others know differently.
Reply:google peach rose or peach roses. You get several pages where you can order peach rose bouquets. However, if you're looking for a plant try your nearest garden center.
Reply:Here is a rose breeder that specializes in miniatures.

They have more minis then I knew existed, but I didn't see one called "Peach rose". Is there any chance she could have been mistaken on the name? Anyhow, you can browse the roses and see if you can come up with something.


I can't find a pink rose named Peach rose online either.


Good Luck
