One of the thrills of buying body bag roses from the big box stores in the early spring is never knowing what you're going to get. I've had a Royal Highness turn out to be Electron, a solid red Oklahoma grow instead to be a stripedy Scentimental. It's like a fun gamble, at very little cost.
I have my first body bag mystery of the season here. I bought a healthy body bag rose labeled Chicago Peace, and was delighted to find no sign of Chicago Peace in sight. What do you think I have here? Could it be Lime Sublime? There is a definate lime tone here...

That is really fun! I have had this happen too.(-: I love this rose! I think it could be a lime sublime.(-: The bareroot plants are always a gamble in every way because not only are then not growing yet usually, you have no idea if its really the plant on the label. I think I like your mystery rose better then what it was suppose to be(-: Chicago Peace is a pretty rose though and if you don't have one already you should try again next year(-:
I will be trying again next year, I am sucker for the sunset shades of Chicago Peace. :)
