[SonicMan46]

Dave: Wine and roses; can not think of better things to enjoy and nurture!  0:)

Oh yes, Lis -     Dinner being prepared as I type - sauteed crab + salad; of course, along w/ some white wine - this evening's choice is Frei Brothers 2005 Chardonnay - Dave

Can you eat roses, too?

I love this picture Lis. Thanks for posting it  !    marvin

Thank you, Marvin!

So are the names of the roses chosen names or are they the official names of special types of roses?

Rose varieties are patented, so they have to be given a name at patent registration. The developer does that. You could consider it as a breed of dog: if you are buying a Scottie sight unseen, you will have a very good idea what you will be getting.

So are the names of the roses chosen names or are they the official names of special types of roses?

They are the official names chosen by the developer of the original type The Konrad Adenauer was created by a rose grower in honour of Adenauer, also a lover and a grower of roses.

Puzzling though since I wouldn't associate Adenauer with roses. I would associate him with a dried date

My wife loves pink roses. She prefers them to red.

Of course, she likes anything pink. 

For Mrs. mn dave I took a picture of the Queen Elizabeth!

How beautiful that Queen Elizabeth is, Lis!

So delicate and shy...

I would associate him with a dried date   

Had to refresh my memory; Michael, you got something there; but he loved his rose garden to relax from his job as German Chancellor.

I offered one of you a picture of my only 'yellow' rose; was it you, Dave? Here it is, just for you:

[Maciek]
