help to identify a standard rose
can anyone help I am looking for a standard rose I have seen in a local garden, it is so beautiful, stricking bright pink booms, it appears to grow in a weeping habit, with smallish leaves, not much of a description but I am hoping it is enough for someone out there to name I wish to buy one for a present to someone special many thanks in anticipation, rosemay

I'm going to take a wild guess with the possibility of it being "The Fairy" in a standard form. Are you familiar with The Fairy? It has rather small leaves, and smallish pink blooms. It's a great old polyantha rose.

I've grown William Baffin, and although it's a great rose, I absolutely cannot imagine it being grown as a standard.plkelly wrote:Maybe it's a William Baffin? They can be grown as either climbers or large, sort of weepy shrubs.
Great bright pink blooms, too.

Mine was a MONSTER in size!
It was about 8 feet tall and every bit as wide.
