Comparison of Double Delight and Cherry Parfait

Often times roses get confused for another rose. Here are two roses that commonly get confused. One of the things that I use to distinguish Double Delight and Cherry Parfait is the scent. Double Delight has a strong distinctive scent, while to me Cherry Parfait does not. You can see a video showing the two roses here:

Lost (and found) roses

 Roses get planted and then labels get lost, people move and leave roses behind, people plant roses along the grave side of loved ones. They lose their names and become lost. People find them and can then give them study names, denoted by using double quotes. Sometimes the lost roses are identified and then given their proper names. Sometimes you have to go out of your way to find them though. You can find the video showing some of the lost roses that I have come across here:
