Roses

Hello - another question (on behalf of my husband this time)

We have some roses in the garden, and there is nothing to identify them (like i say a lot of things were planted/overgrown by prev residents and we had no idea what any of them were, we got rid of a lot and left a spirea, skimmia and the rhododendron <sp> and the roses)

He wants to know if its possible to identify the rose "name" by just having a picture posted? and if so, can that be done here (or someone know where the best place to do it is? )


thankyou very much

 

Put the pic up and let's see.

 

It looks a bit like Queen Elizabeth. It's always popular in old gardens. A large stiff upright rose? I am no expert so I'll leave it those who know better than I

 

erm ok, think i'll just settle on it being a pink one :lol: (i do hate people who dont leave things about so you know what the thing is (we are sticking the "name" things near the plants)

 

i'm a yorkshire lass - i just married a man from Kent (Kentish man or Man of Kent?) :p was stuck for a username :lol:

 

If you like the roses Kentishmaid does it really matter to you what variety they are.
If you just want to refer to them by name then you can name them yourself.
We've had roses called Aunt Marion, June's prize and The best of the rest.
It's quite fun to name them.

 

i agree alice. I have started to tag my roses with my grandchildrens
names .when they come round the garden, its like a contest!!
(my rose is bigger than yours!!)( my rose is a nicer colour than yours!!!)
(got so many grandchildren now i will require a bigger garden!!!!!!).
music.

 

Gorgeous everyone.
