Thanks Sacha. That makes sense as the nursery that supplied the
plants for my garden for the original owners of my garden were
heavily
into Meillands. And it IS red, just as I thought with a name like
that
:-))

Meilland developed the lovely Peace rose and if you haven't read the
book
For Love of a Rose, I think you'd enjoy it very much.

Funny you should mention that, a friend has been trying to lend it to
me for ages! I've been saying 'no' as all I can cope with at the
moment is Lilian Beckwith and Miss Read. I'm still a bit Chemo fog
brained to read anything else.
