Can anyone identify this rose for me please? We bought it 2 years ago
and the label has disappeared. It is growing up one side of an arch
and we want another, the same, for the other side.


Guaranteed way of getting the same would be to take a cutting. But I can
quite understand you'd like to move a bit more quickly than that.


Last year we were bought a small bunch of the darkest red roses and after
the flowers started to go over I used the stems as cutting on the off
chance, nothing lost, and any resulting plant would be a reminder of that
person. Just pushed them into the soil in the garden, a dampish protected
spot otherwise nothing special at all.
Three are putting out leaves.
