there's a theme to the roses I like

Some might call it a rut, but I just keep looking for that perfect rose, and I'll keep trying until I find it. Although I like a variety of roses, from singles to fully double, and multiple colors and blends, ultimately what I am looking for is a rose to be warm pink to apricot, cup shaped, outer petals fading to near white, sinfully fragrant, vigorous grower in my climate, not damaged by heat/sun/wind/thrips, blooms and reblooms well, grows to manageable size, but not tiny/compact. I don't really care if it has a lot of thorns, or if it wants to take over the world. So in my search, I've purchased a number of similar roses. They are not similar in growth, and only at certain stages are they very similar. None are perfect. Yet.

'Abraham Darby'

'Boscobel'

'Evelyn'

'Princesse Charlene de Monaco'

'Radio Times'
