    There's one or two, Jack, that are similar in appearance llke "Crazy for You" (which is in my garden and is probably redder than "Sentimental"

    "Crazy for You"
    [​IMG]

    Other similar roses are "Bright Ideas", "Best Impression", "Brushes Strokes", "Ferdinand Richard", "Raspberry Cream Twirl" They all appear to be repeat flowerers, most importent to me to get the longest period of flowering throughout the year.
    There's also a "Orange and Lemon rose" that I have sitting next to my "Crazy for You".

    But my advice, for what it's worth, is if you like it buy it!!! If you're going to put it in a container then I would recommend the largest you can get and feed it regularly at least once a week during the growing and flowering season. But, for me, Roses do so much bettter in the ground.
    By the way "Crazy for You" is Sentimental to me as it is the Rose my Wife fell in love with when seeing it at a RHS Flower show back in the 9o's and we bought it then and there, so it has many happy sentimental memories for me..........a good rose.:love30::thumbsup:
