    I am after a red rose but with not so many petals however I don't know what it would be called. I have bought other roses but they tend to be the ones with loads and loads of petals in a tight knit formation.
    I know that when this red rose opens, the petals are virtually fully displayed and it looks really fantastic as ther are not so many petals. I hope y0u know what I mean. Your help in my quest would be appreciated.
    regards,
    Novice surfer gardener.

    I have a soft spot for 'Orangeade', a sixties rose which is an eye-searing shade of orangey-red. Groovy baby!
