Barbie (or Heaven, which is the same rose) does have a tendancy to bruise very easily, and it did go through a period earlier this year, where the quality was just generally poor. At the moment the quality is in my opinion is good, but it will always be a rose that marks quite easily.
Alternatives are :
Sweet akito
Lyvera (brand new, almost the same a bianca candy)
Sweet Avalanche
all three are a little paler than barbie, but are still definitely true pale pink roses.
Sweet akito
The other two are still quite new, so I dont have any pictures available.
Sweet akito would always be my preference anyway.
