    :thmb: Hi everyone, please keep all discussion for the Rose Gallery here...

    I thought it would be nice to have a discussion thread to go with the rose gallery so we can keep the gallery to photos only... [​IMG]

    Many Thanks

    Marley    :thmb:

    4.Loving Memory (40 petals)1981. 5.Ruskin (50 petals)

    WiseOwl and Marley....I have learnt something to-day.:thumb::thumb:
    I never knew one had to know how many petals on a rose to know what it was.
    Thanks.

    I'm going to try to see if I can identify one I have in my front garden. A friend said it might be called strawberries and cream because the petals are speckled red & white, but I guess armed with the description and the no. of petals I should hopefully be able to identify it.
