Title: ID Please!
Post by: Plocket on July 21, 2005, 15:28:51
I've got this lovely rose in my garden (well actually the flowers have finished and I now have lovely brownish hips) and wondered if anyone could tell me what sort of rose it is. Many thanks!

Sorry that I can't help with an id Plocket but I love that rose, it is so pretty and I love the idea of the brownish hips. I'll be watching to see if someone can id it so I can go and buy one  :)

You'll have to remind me in the Spring!!!!! I mean it in all seriousness Jessevieve - remind me and I'll dig one out if we have some. I can bung it in a toilet roll or something and post it to you. Don't forget now, and don't be shy about reminding me - I've a memory like a sieve!

Hi Jessevieve!

I think it's been identified - Rose Rubrifolia (Rosa Glauca). Google it and see if it's still the sort of thing you want, then we'll work on babies!
