Is this rose (Bijou Corail) the same as another rose listed on HMF called 'Corail Gelee' ?
'Corail Gelee' was released in 2011 but in Japan. It says it was bred by Junko Kawamoto and is listed as a shrub.
'Bijou Corail' it says, was bred by Delbard - before 2011 and described as a floribunda - but it has 2 top Japanese awards!
Seems like a remarkable coincidence - they look so similar, have strong fruity fragrance and have very similar names and both appeared in 2011

Is the identity of the rose(s) shown in the various photos certain? This is not what I would anticipate for a rose which was described early on as "deep cerise," "light red," "bright purplish red," or even just "cerise pink."

Interesting that none of the references mention a white eye.

I don't know it's provenance but if it's described as lighter than 'Nancy Hayward' and darker than 'Jessie Clark', and is clearly a Gigantea hybrid, it's probably right. I suspect that the earliest flowers in August/winter are more saturated in colour than the later ones. I haven't grown it but I have grown 'Jessie Clark' and its blooms faded quite quickly on the plant, so perhaps this is also what is showing up in the photos here.
The photo of 'Flying Colours' in the 2014 Mistydowns catalogue shows what could be described as a dark pink/cerise/light red flower and the photo in Peter Cox's book 'Australian Roses' is also a similar shade.

Sorry to be a bother but this exact same picture also features in the photos for the 'Mischief' rose by Sam Mcgredy. Can I ask Mr. Rippetoe which is it please? - 'Compassion' or 'Mischief' ?
