What rose is this?

Dallas, TX(Zone 8a)

Wish I could find the plant label. This rose blooms well February/March through October/November. In the cooler months, it has mostly pink blooms, some peach, some white. During the summer, the blooms are white or start out pink and turn white. Slight clean fragrance. The leaves and flowers haven't burned in our crazy heat and the plant has looked healthy despite the drought and water restrictions. My other rose bushes haven't done nearly as well.

Is it a knock-out rose?: has some similar characteristics.

Flower close up (slightly out of focus). *thought about posting in the Rose section, but I love the Texas forum.

Looks a lot like my Iceberg Rose, I have them in both Bush & Climbers.

You're right, they look alike; the main difference I see is petal count. Your Iceberg looks great. Does it do well in heat/drought? I will be planting more roses in the fall. Will add Iceberg to my list.

Could it be Marie Pavie?

I hope it performs as well as Marie Pavie. They do look very similar. I bought the rose January 2004. I remember looking for Belinda's dream, Knock out, Marie Daly, Marie Pavie. I couldn't find any of those. I was at Calloway's and asked for help selecting some roses. The employee there gave me the "a rose is a rose" speach. So I chose three healthy looking plants (they were just stems and root ball in a biodegradable pot). If I remember correctly, they were from a "Jackson and Perkin's ???" collection. I remember seeing, 'Nancy Reagan' or 'Ronald Reagan'?? I put the plant labels in my file (random kitchen drawer with a bunch of other stuff in it). Any how, gonna go sleep on it and look in the kitchen again.
