    A funny thing just happened, I was posting this reply in the 'Shrub ID please' thread when your question disappeared! :D
    That's a beautiful rose Woo, have no idea what it is I'm afraid, but if you have a bouquet of them why not try a cutting? Does it have any scent

    I have ordered Tequila Sunrise today.All I can find out is that these Roses are sold by most of the major supermarkets,They are called Colombian
    Roses(not sure if that means that they are all imported from Colombia(hope not) or that is a species name for them.Surely there would be some British Roses available.

    Columbian is obviously a type not the variety and it looks like they are flown in. Found this
    ................................................
    Perhaps one of the best climates for the growing of red roses is the Columbian. Growing their red roses amongst other colour roses and flower varieties near the equator you might think would be too hot. Whilst in fact nurseries are at high altitudes which mean a cooler growing climate of around 18 degrees which red roses prefer. Being on the Equator also means there are no seasons and with a stable year round temperature Columbia has a great advantage over European based growers who have increased cost of power to simulate optimum growing conditions through winter months. Red roses from Columbia find themselves at florists all over the world. You will find Columbian red roses at Eden4flowers.co.uk
    ................................................
    so they are flying them half way across the world. To grow them in the UK you would need heating, light etc. If a supermarket can save .00001p/flower by flying them across the world they will do so.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Bet they can't grow Crimson Glory. I think I am going to get a climbing one of those for my new trellis - bare rooted from David Austin who is just down the road from here.
    You can't beat the good old fashioned type with a scent to die for.

    Crimson Glory has a bit of a weak neck, but it is a very full flower. I think it was a parent of Josphine Bruce so you get some idea of the colour. The scent is very heavy, not the sort you tend to get in modern varieties. I first smelt it in my aunt's garden 40 odd years ago and could not forget it.
