This index contains the names from many of the rose identification tags found in John's Rose Garden. Unfortunately at this time the majority of the pictures on the Internet version of the rose garden aren't labeled. Most of the photographs displayed were not taken with a website in mind, consequently the names of the flowers pictured were not written down.Click on Legend of abbreviations: GM = Gold Medal IIC = Introduced Into Commerce MR11 = Modern Roses 11 nonIRAR = Not registered with the International Registration Authority for Roses PPAF = Plant Patent Applied For |
