What a pain these duplicate names are! Now that I'm adding parentage data, I find that the system invariably creates a link to the wrong plant. 'Amberlight' is important in breeding, but our system kept creating a link to 'Fyvie Castle' because one of its alternative names is 'Amberlight.' I solved the problem by adding a qualifier to the inappropriate plant: 'Amberlight (Cocker)'. I ran into the same thing with 'Caprice,' so I've named the 'Caprice' that isn't involved in breeding programs 'Caprice (Leenders).' I hope there aren't too many of these cases. I really wanted a nice, clean database, without lots of extraneous information attached to the names, especially because I know that the breeder's name won't be enough in some cases. We could have one name shared by three Kordes roses, and they might all be floribundas, so I'd have to qualify them with the breeder's name, the class, and the year of introduction. Yuk!
