She's just gray.

Dapple gray is just a stage of the graying process. Nothing all that special about it other than it happens to be pretty.

Fleabitten gray is referred to as, like the picture in the above post shows, a horse who has little ticks of their base color still showing, called fleabites.

Congrats on keeping her that clean though. Most grays I know pride themselves in being as dirty as possible. :P

Then she may be a rose gray but I'd have to see better pix...

Doubtful. She could end up with a few here or there, but usually the ones that are completely white have few to no fleabites. The majority of grays I know personally are covered in fleabites to the point where their base color completely visible. I only know of one white-gray and he doesn't have a fleabite on him. He is also a really loud splash/sabino that you can't see at all unless he's wet.

In the end, the final final stages, there is fleabitten and 'white' grey. I believe she is white grey.
Dappling is just one of the many wacky stages in the greying process.
Like Poisedon said in the end all greys ultimately end up entirely white or fleabitten.
