Do a search on the RHS plantfinder site...

hope you find something  :)

I haven't done a specific check, but if there isn't a rose or three with Ruby in the title, I'll be very surprised.

You could check David Austin Roses, or Harkness I dare say have a decent web site too if there's nothing down the plant centre at this time of year.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Thinking outside the box ... there are flowers with Wedding Anniversy to their name!     :wink:

... and there is ALWAYS a rose !!   A dozen on these would go down well ...  it's actually more velvet red than the picture  :wink:
