I am looking for a name of a rose?

Question

The rose petals is dark red on the inside and white on the outside. I saw these in a shop once but the woman at the shop did not know the name

Answer 1

See if any of these are yours:
Snow Ruby (this is a mini so it is doubtful): http://www.heirloomroses.com/cgi/browse.cgi?page=item&cat=33&item=524

Answer 2

Hi,
find a local gardening club or society and go as a guest to a meeting, take a few photos of the rose if it is not in bloom,remember to take photos of the leaves and put your finger in the shot for scale. if you feel confident write a short description, height, colour of leaves, not all rose leaves are dark green, stems are they hairy or smooth. Are the prickles large or small etc. and take this with the photos. Some one will be able to help you to find either a book or a person who can help you. I am not sure how old you are but don't be afraid to ask the first visit is always the worst once the older people see you are serious eg the description etc.. they will help.

Answer 3

Try checking with rose Growers on the net or if you have a good Garden Centre near you, you could ask them. Gordale Garden Centre, Wirral, has a very knowledgeable chap in their Rose Section, Bob. He has always been very helpful to me. Good luck in your search.
