'Tequila ®' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Does anyone have any idea why so many of the photos are tagged as being incorrect? My Tequila has presented colors and form that match them all, depending on the time of year and the temperature. It's not my favorite rose (it was given to me, and I'm not a fan of orange in any flowering plant), but it is moderately healthy and a blooming fool.

Because there is a newer Meilland rose by the identical name. Meilland is to blame since no one can expect a customer to know such a thing. So some photos get labeled incorrect for being on the wrong page of a rose with an identical name. It's frustrating, but it is what it is.
Businesses putting the onus on their customers is borderline evil in my not so humble opinion.

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.
