I think the opposite is true for me. I bought one from Lowes in central Florida in spring of this year as well. However, mine is likely the red rose from the photo on the label. It's very much solid red, very dark actually. There's no salmon or coral to it. Still pretty perplexed as to how there isn't more information available on it even when you search by SPEdaba. Very nice rose though! I'll try to add some photos to here to further complicate things. Have you gotten any further information on your end?
