The Real "Quietness.", a photo by Leenechan on Flickr.

Boy was I surprised to see a mauled box from Northland Rosarium on my front steps today! They had told me that they'd send me a replacement "Quietness" once they had one in bloom, but I didn't expect to receive one within the week!

The band is really huge, too. Now that I have a real "Quietness" I can see how wrong the other rose was, right down to the foliage. "Quietness" has grass green leaves, and "Silver Shadows" has dark pine green.
