The identities of the roses in yesterday's post are....

 I hope that you had fun trying to identify the pictures. Also with any luck I was able to show why it is important to show more than just the flowers when trying to identify roses.

Some other things that were mentioned that are useful to use as identifiers include: Where is the plant? This can refer to where in the garden the plant is (sun/shade exposure), also what climate is the rose growing in?; how big is the plant?; where did the plant come from?; is the flower fragrant? (in at least one case the foliage is actually fragrant, which can be used as an identifier as well); picture of the backside of the flowers, plus pictures of the sepals (the bud covering); and how old are the plant?

 Now to the identities:

 Rose #1: Bliss Parfuma

Rose #2: Evelyn

Rose #3: Abraham Darby

Thank you to those who participated!
