I think I may have identified two mystery roses in my garden planted before I started labeling.
Please take a look and comment.
Hybrid Tea
Exhibition form
Pink blend, white reverse
30-40 petals
3-4 feet high
faint scent
dull medium green leaves
sepals are often long and a little leafy

I don't remember anything about the sepals on mine, but you're otherwise batting a thousand.

Rose (Rosa 'Editor Tommy Cairns')

This rose used to be very popular, but I hardly ever see it anymore.

Here's a link to the US Patent for ETC.

The description of the sepals in the patent is different from your description above.

I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.

Thanks
I just read the patent description and noted the difference in sepals.
I did note a match to my sepals in photos on the Help Me Find site though.
I met Dr. Cairns at Rose Hills in Southern California when he taught the American Rose Society Judging course I attended. I'm going to contact him with my pictures. Surely he will be able to help with identification of a rose named after him. I will let you all know what he says.

Hilary ...

Forgive me, I was so busy thinking about sepals, I forgot to welcome you to ATP.

Welcome!

Smiles,
