I don't find the blooms on Prosperity too small.  They are a little smaller
than a hybrid tea, but similarly shaped.  I would guess they are 2" across,
definitely larger than Moonlight, but probably similar to Penelope (in
size).  Lavender Lassie may be your best bet!  That girl is awesome!

I was looking at this rose last night and I have to make a retraction.
There is a distinctly lavender shade to the pink, especially compared to
"truly" pink roses like Gertrude Jekyll.

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.

I AM in shape.  ROUND is a shape!
