A friend of my daughter lives in Scotland and has asked if anyone knows the
name of this rose: http://www.deviantart.com/view/21967616/
And of this: http://www.deviantart.com/view/22494893/


The latter looks like some kind of Balsam to me but I'd love to know what
others think.

Can't help with the rose as you might expect, but that "Orchid" doesn't look
like any hardy Orchid I know, (with hairy leaves?) it's more like a Marsh
Woundwort (Stachys palustris)

Bingo! I'm sure you're right. Do we have to worry about it being invasive
or anything weird like that? I say 'we' because I've asked for seeds of it
- I think it's lovely!
