The trouble is that I inherited several 'unknown' roses, and they'd have to be numbered...'Garden Friend 1' 'Garden Friend 2' etc. Gets a bit 'tejus', wouldn't you agree? ;D I might just call it 'Fred'. ;D ;D

Geranium that 'Roselocater' must have all the roses in existence ! It will take a while to look through it.
I should know Esther's third pic (goblet shape pink) as I had one once, it's an old highly scented one but me 'pixels' are are not working today!

I know! I only got to 'L' in one of the pink sections. I'll carry on next time we have a wet day. (Should that read 'if'?)

I wouldn't blame you for getting a new bush - that rose is a beauty.
