Parody names (stupid joke)
 

Oh, how I want to be a successful rose hybridizer! (Too
bad I'm too lazy and too disorganized for that.)

I've already posted parody names such as "Unjust Joey."
The idea is to breed roses from a particular well-known
variety, and give the descendants silly names based on its
name. For instance:

Peace: Peace Off, Peace on You, Peace Meal (prone to
apids), Whirled Peace (striped variety)...

But I REALLY want to breed something (if possible: it
may be sterile for all I know) from the Austin rose called
Fisherman's Friend, after the throat lozenge. Why? So that
I can name it...

For Cough

Mark., say it out loud (it's an old joke from Anthony Burgess)

I like these. Dave and Jim had a go at parody names once.
