Default RG: Search for Latin (botanical) Names for certain roses

most of the roses that you see today have been bred extensively and dont really
have specific botanical names, other than Rosa, and the cultivar name.
Cultivar is short for cultivated variety. It basically means that somewhere
down the line someone either bred various roses to get that variety, or they
stumbled upon a different variety that somehow mutated and had different
qualities than the original.
