    Hello again group,
    I've tried for years to find a rose named 7 sisters.It has it's proper name of course, but thats the one I can recall easily.
    It is normally found around cornwall, climbing up and over walls.A pretty, pinky/red small double flower and as I mentioned, it has 7 flowers on a branch.
    Some time ago, I believe someone said it was called "prince albert" (I can't quite remember)
    does anyone know this lovely old cottage rose?
    and where I may purchase it?
    Thank you for any help.
