    Good evening Jenny after 36 emails to to all my Rosarian friends from Lands end to John,o,Groats ,Databases and reference libraries ,this is proving to be a very tough challenge,but I do not give up:paladin:;) And I am picking up a little knowledge on the way,so thank you for that:)
    Here is an email I received tonight from a friend who owns a large Rose nursery who I used to work with at Cobham Hall Rose gardens(when cars had solid Tyre,s;)

    just one of many emails I have received:)

      Hallo Woo,
      I'm sorry I haven't found this until today. That's nice of your friend Dan to give his opinion on my rose. It does look very similar but I'm sure I would have remembered the name "Sheila's perfume" but that wasn't it. I will ask my sister where she got it from. I don't think it was a David Austin rose.
      Bless you for your research and I will still love it as it has family ties,
      Jenny

        It's far too hot "out there" :th scifD36: I did me bit at 6am on the weeding front; the watering takes two hours and there is simply *no way* I'm standing in this heat for 2hrs.

        Besides, I'm learning so much on here :heehee:
