Just saw this thread.. haven't been hanging out here as much as I should. As far as goofy names, check out this rose.
Tantalizing Red
Rose (Rosa 'Tantalizing Red')
red? Uh, nope. LOLLL Kinda reminds me of a rose I bought a couple of years ago. Bought a "Chrysler Imperial", which is a bright red rose. Bloomed white.
