Need help with rose colour asap - have to order tonight

[Johan]

I am looking for a rose that is a strawberry colour - not red
I have just been given the swatch and it is not the colour on a picture I was given to match up.
I am looking at Slendid Surprise or Shanti at the moment but any suggestions really appreciated as the Splendid suprise looks very different in my book to an the internet. Need them for next week end.

Have you tried looking on the sierra website? They have lots of roses listed. Site is www.sierraflowerfinder.com
Sorry I couldn't help.

I'm sorry Johan, I've been wracking my brain trying to remember the name of a rose I think might be right. I even looked at a couple of sites to see if I could find it but I can't. I was a HUGE headed rose, the buds probably were a good 4" long, the size of a rouge baizier. They were a peachy red and it sounds like this might be the right color for you.

I'll keep searching my brain, although it's probably too late now. Sorry!
Linda

Johan,
I think that you might be looking for opium; in any event, go to www.importroses.com - they have the best color chart.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for all your help. I did plum for Shanti and if it arives and it's not quite right I am an absolute wiz with oasis spray paint. It really has totally perplexed me which normally never happens as I can normally match most things and I even have a fab dutch rose book that I got in spring.
