I have three "Hot Cocoa"s  that I bought from J&P last year.  That year, they grew to only about three feet tall (which was expected), and the bloom stages remained constant in size and shape. THIS year, however, after cutting back late in the winter, they're now almost  six feet tall in the canes, and each bloom stage seems to present a totally different rose type! The first was a typical floribunda, the second seemed almost mini, and now this one looks like an Austin cabbage! Has anyone else seen this in the "Hot Cocoa"?Thanks! :)

I hope someone can help me with this! I'm a floral designer/hobby rose grower who recently came across a rose I'd like to plant (found in a wedding centerpiece), but can't for the life of me find it. It's a bright, solid orange, no bicoloring or reverse... blooms are about 3" across... grows like a floribunda/hybrid tea, up to 4 on stem... almost thornless, and leaves are a glossy light green. Has a damask-fruity fragrance but isn't strong. I thought it might have been "Caramba", but the coloring's off. Imagine "Pinata" without the yellow tones and climbing inclination - but this rose's petals are very tight and numerous. Possibly "Party Lights"? Here's the photo I took of them:   http://img85.imageshack.us/my.php?image=roses006gr2.jpg     Sorry, may have to cut and paste above link - my computer's acting up and won't let me post the photo here.Thanks!
