Default Rose the wrong colour


"'Mike'" wrote in message
...
We have a Rose which according to the label is Grandma
http://www.myalbum.com/Album-BEFXP8L...%20-Other.html but as it
was given on either a Birthday or Mothering Sunday, we 'assumed' that this
Rose, from a range 'A Rose for a special occasion, was suitably named, so
I googled it, only to find that Grandma, from the same nurseries Burstin'
is Yellow !!

Any suggestions?

Mike

This is what it should be...
http://www.rosesuk.com/rose_locator/...69_grandma.php
but it's not in the RHS Plantfinder under the name "Grandma" but then it
only came out in 2004.

Goodness knows what you've got, perhaps an email to the suppliers will
ascertain the correct name as their site doesn't seem to work atm.
