Based on your photos this imay probably be Ball Gown Romantica, but definitely not Dee-Lish. Perhaps you could contact the nursery for further information? I do believe it was a mistake of labels.

3 awards from 2021 Barcelona trials are missing:

- Most vigorous variety
- Most innovative variety
- Best flower

(I think we shall ignore the 1st “Virtual Rose” award as it was a specific award during the pandemic when some jury members were impossible to come judging)

The most vigorous variety is listed as the Association of Parks and Gardens Prize.
The Best Flower in 2021 was MR 933.
We have in the past not listed "Accessit" prizes, i.e. a runner up for the prize. Only in 2023 we introduced a generic Barcelona 2nd Prize award. This award category might be deleted in future - there were none accessits in 2024.

Ah yes, I ignored the word “accessit”. But still the highest prize - Barcelona prize (variety with the highest score) is missing.

Listing says zone 7b, but Star Roses website lists Bolero from Meilland as hardy in zones 5-10.

Commercial sites are often very generous about hardiness and limited about height a rose attains. Meilland roses are bred in southern France. For hardiness we try to follow effective usage if possible. In this case we have gardens listed in zones 7a to 11.
