    Is there a rose with Fletcher or Fletch as a name? Looking for one as a memoriam to a recently departed family member.

      Thanks @Dips :)

      I will add that one to the list (I love dahlias so any excuse will do :snork:), but I will also hold out of a rose (thinking perennial and long lasting..)

              I reckon that will be even harder @wiseowl, but by all means it is worth a go - - Denny

                    I’m looking to buy a rose called Anne Marie Trechslin. When I googled, I found she had been a famous Swiss painter and the hybrid rose was named for her by a Rosarian I keep finding paintings by her but no retailers for the rose itself. Significantly, it would be a gift to our friends whose daughter, Anne Marie, passed away today. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Veronica

                      Hi Veronica - I am going to tag @wiseowl as he is one of many here that will hopefully be able to offer some guidance. Bear with us, and I am sure the crew will be along shortly :)
