OK - here is Latin Plant Names 101: Every plant has at least two names - a genus and
species - and they are universally identified by these two names. A number of plants
will have an additional name - a cultivar or 'cultivated variety' name, which
indicates it is not a naturally occuring plant but has been cultivated for some
particular feature - bloom size or color, foliage variegation, fall color, long bloom
season, etc., etc. The exception to this two name rule are hybrids or plants which
have been bred from two different species and even a good many of them have at least
two names - for example, Viburnum x juddii - the 'x' denotes that it is a hybrid. If
a plant is very highly hybridized so that its original species parentage is so muddied
as to be unclear or unknown, the 'x' and the hybrid name are dropped. This is the case
with most modern roses - they have been so highly hybridized that the only Latin they
will have is the genus, Rosa. The remaining names are the cultivar names. Therefore,
all of your roses will be referred to simply as Rosa 'Jacqueline' or Rosa 'Jacqueline
Humery', etc, although most folks just refer to them as roses:-))

P.S. All this info from www.helpmefind.com, but it lists NO latin
names! Very frustrating since there is so much room for confusion. At
least one of them has a patent number!

Thanks, New

Hello.
Does anyone know where online I can look up the Latin Names of specific roses?

Thank you, New

Most of the commonly available roses are hybrids, so their botanical names will
simply be Rosa, followed by the cultivar name in single quotes. There are a few
species roses commonly planted - like Rosa glauca, R. rugosa, R. chinensis
'Mutabilis', etc. Got any specifics in mind? I'm sure we could help.......
