Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The what now? I think you're thinking of someone else's post...
Darby is brenda's dog, Theo.
Buffista gardeners: any idea what this flower is? It's growing in a big bush in the backyard -- it must have been done flowering when we moved in last September.
The picture was quick and sort of crappy, sorry.
Isn't that a rose? I don't know what kind, but it's not the elegant-looking ones you see cut in florists' shops. We have one of those bushes, and I've been calling them roses for 3 years.
Possibly a variety of floribunda rose? [link]
Stephen thought it was a rose! I thought it was a little too ... floppy? Open? But I'm probably just thinking of florist shop roses, and not one of the varieties.
It also has only a very faint fragrance, which made me question it.
Free iPhone App Identifies Tree Leaves
A new iPhone app called LeafSnap can identify a tree’s species by analyzing a photograph of its leaf.
That's definitely a rose. I'm no expert, but my guess would be Doctor Huey. It's a red rose that tends to open into a loose flower like that, with a bit of white at center of the petals. Can't recall stamen color. It's often used as root stock for grafted plants because it's hardy and grows well.

Robin Hood [link] is another possibility. Wander through the Antique Rose Emporium site to see how many types of roses there are.
