Having heard doubts expressed over the years about the names of quite a number of roses, we too have become suspicious about some of them. Some time ago now, I thought my parent plant of the gallica 'Camaieux' was losing its vigour, and duly went through the process of importing another from overseas. I was delighted to see the young plants in quarantine growing well, and looked forward to producing a healthy line of this beautiful rose in the future. But it was not to be, because the freshly imported one was in fact, different to mine. It was striped, but in a finer or narrower way, and of course I began to wonder, just who has the correct one.
