Could this be Isabella?

Columbia, SC(Zone 8a)

Received as 'Frosty', but learned that it was not. After Vicki's in depth description of Isabella, thought this might be it.

Sure could be Linda. There's getting be so many Isabella babies anymore that it is getting harder and harder to be sure without growing her in person. Although they are both pink and white I have never understood how people can confuse those two.

This was Isabella with the sun shining thru from the back and making it lighter.

Posted this cause it shows the form clearly.

When the bloom aged , it developed a pretty good recurve I seem to remember.

This is her in normal light. She bloomed like crazy all summer but never got dark like your brug is.
I got this cutting from tiG so I'm sure I have the correct brug named Isabella.

IMO ...... you do not have Isabella

scoot... where you out ther with your compact case? :) Such a pretty pink.

Yeah, I thought Isabella more resembled Adora with just a pink edge and not a solid color.

Hmmm, from your Isabella pic, Scoot, it appears that she does resemble Frosty or what I've thought was Frosty - am I totally off base? Of course, I've never seen Isabella/Frosty, face to face, but Frosty should bloom soon. Linda, my Rafaela resembles your third photo, but has only bloomed once...I dunno.
