Thanks, Micheal. I had no idea Meilland had done this, but as often as it happens with Meilland/Kordes et al, it should have crossed my mind. If I had done a Tequila search here, it would have been obvious, I guess, since there appear to be THREE other roses, all from Meilland, all with the identical name, for a total of FOUR Tequilas (you could get really drunk on that much Tequila). There's the one I have, from 1978; one florist rose with no intro date; another intro'd in 1985, and yet another from 2003!
And you are so right about it being evil. You can not convince me that unique names can't be found for every rose, considering the number of nouns and adjectives in English, not to mention in French, German...it's just lazy to re-use identical names, at least while the earlier rose is still available.
By the way, my Tequila is growing on me. I've surrounded it with pastel yellow, salmon, and peach-toned roses, and now instead of screaming at me, it just provides a nice contrast to all the shyer ones, lol.

EDIT: I also note that someone has removed the mistaken incorrect photo designations, lol. Thanks, to whomever.
