Image by: Cecilia "While we always look with pleasure at the petals of a rose, frequently they are of the least importance in deciding where we are to classify our plant." -- Mrs. Frederick L. Keays, from the 1938 American Rose Society Annual Identifying roses isn't always easy. Some are very distinctive and a photo of the bloom alone will do. Others require more information, and some may never be reunited with their original names. It is helpful in such cases to assign a study name to your rose. The list below suggests some of the information that might be helpful with the identification. In describing your rose, please include as much detail as possible and do include any distinctive characteristics the rose may have that aren't covered here. Do what you can with the photo suggestions that appear directly beneath the respective plant parts, given your photographic resources and access. Combine elements where convenient, and include a recognizable object for scale - a coin, ruler, etc. STUDY NAME: These are always placed in double quotes, i.e. "Grandma's Pink Rose."BUDS: shape (round, elongated), texture (smooth, mossy. If mossy, how fragrant is the moss?), shape of sepals (pointed, leaf-like) *Photo: Side view, mature enough to show some color. BLOOM: color (incl. reverse of petal), size, shape, petal count, petal shape, stamen and pistil color, fading or darkening of aging bloom *Photo: Top view, side view, cluster view (if applicable) FRAGRANCE: none, slight, medium, moderately strong, strong; describe the fragrance BLOOM DISTRIBUTION: are blooms single or clustered REPEAT BLOOM: none, one, a few, frequent HIPS: shape, color, diameter, quantity *Photo: Side view, ripe or unripe as the season permits LEAVES: color (light, dark, med, matte or glossy), size, texture (smooth, leathery, rough, fuzzy). How many leaflets, any fragrance, any needle-like spines underneath, well or sparsely foliated? *Photo: 2 leaves carefully pulled from stem with stipule intact, one face up, the other face down. LEAFLETS: Shape, size. Are they fairly uniform in size? If not, describe how they vary. Are they closely or widely spaced along the midrib? STIPULE: please describe using as much detail as possible - shape, size, color, any red striping, describe edges (plain, toothed, ragged, fringed, feathery) THORNS: shape, size, color, many/few, straight/hooked, bristles, all the same or different sizes on the same cane, do they break off easily or are they strong? CANES: color, slender and pliable, arching, stout and upright *Photo: include a few thorns GROWTH HABIT & FORM: height of plant, bush, shrub, climber, ground cover *Photo: entire plant VIGOR & HEALTH: slow or fast grower, any diseases? HISTORY: Approximate age of plant - try to date the rose based on the age of objects in the surrounding environment, i.e., a cemetery headstone date, approximate age of any structure or development near which it was found, or developmental level of roadside (country backroad, freeway bypass, etc.) by which it was found. What is known about the history othis rose? A lot of these old roses have stories behind them - ask around! CONDITION OF PLANT: Has the rose been well-cared-for, neglected, or abused? What type of soil was it growing in, was it in full sun, part (or full) shade? USDA zoneFAQ compiled by AndreaRose, Cecilia_MD7a, Wendy_in_SD, Sylvia, and Mosaic.

Carolyn, I've been looking up every title mentioned so far, but just got to Absent Friends this morning. I haven't read any of the novels about 9/11 yet -- I think I'm still a bit squeamish to relinquish that horrendous episode to fiction. However, I will come to that point and Rozan's story certainly sounds interesting. The synopsis confused me, though: is this fiction based on actual people and incidents? disputantum, mysteries or crime or suspense, those noir novels in the anthologies are definitely outstanding in my mind. I think I've read most of them and have seen most of the films, too. In some cases, I think the films improved on the novels, or at least added another dimension of interpretation -- from Nicholas Ray to Truffaut to Robert Altman and many others. I often have a profound distaste for screenwriters and directors who tamper with books, but somehow crime/mystery novels can be tinkered with and played more loosely. Cece, looking at that list of Christie's non-series mysteries: I never realized that she wrote so many non-Poirot and Marple. The thing I love about Christie -- and this may sound contradictory -- is I promptly forget the plots and whodunnit, so every few years I can reread and enjoy them just as much. The only one I remember well is The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and I guess that makes it outstanding. But, in a way, that's a shame 'cause I can never be shocked and riled up by it again! Thanks, Cece. The Coffee Trader and Drowning Ruth do look right up my alley. I probably overlooked the latter because it was an Oprah pick -- sometimes my reasoning for dismissing something is initially faulty.

Thank you Jo, Ben and Vaporvac! The best guess I got when posting this in a Rose Facebook Group was Wedding Bells. I think you guys nailed it. Jo, The pictures of your rose is beautiful! I actually like the coloring on your Gene Boerner Rose is even slightly more deep and saturated than my friend’s Rose. I’m not typically into roses that have blooms that curl back and create sharp, pointy angles. I prefer blooms with a softer more rounded shape. But the fact that this rose seems to be a blooming machine in early March and has done so well on such little care caught my attention.
