band sent free from rogue valley roses, no idea what color etc., so planted in an out of the way place. Bloomed a lovely pale pink with a strong sweet fragrance. I moved it to replace the dead tree peony in the front border next to “The fairy”. It can make up for the fairy’s lack of scent.
Is it “allegra” ?

anelson's mystery rose Care Instructions
Try for a seed spacing of at approx. 3.96 feet (1.22 metres) and sow at a depth of around 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) if planning to sow direct.
Ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant - Rose is known for growing to a height of approximately 2.00 metres (that's 6.50 feet in imperial).
Rose tends to enjoys a partial sun position, which is ideal for your garden's sun profile.
Your garden contains combination soil - try planting Rose in loam soil for best results.
Remember to water moderately.
Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (8b) is within the ideal range for Rose. The recommended range is between Zone 5 and 9.
Ensure your soil has a ph of between 4.5 and 8.0 as Rose is a acidic to alkaline soil loving plant.
Keep an eye out for these common Rose problems: Blackspot, Powdery Mildew, Aphids, Bristly Rose Slug, and Rose Slug.

Wow, gorgeous- Glad u r moving it to a more visible spot.
May be Allegra, or may only have Allegra as one of its parents.
Seems a little bit paler pink than typical of Allegra.
But if it was growing in part shade, the lower light levels could perhaps have caused it to have a pale color.
