Hi, I bought some roses from my local florist, they were past their best and only cost me a pound for a bunch. They are very highly scented and a beautiful orange colour. I went back to ask them the name but the florist couldn't find it. She said she thought its name began with an N and they last a very long time as cut flowers. Can anyone tell me what they are so I can grow some in my garden please? Picture attached

There seems to be a bit of yellow about it. Could it maybe be this?

Perhaps not as Piccadilly is quite an old rose now and may have fallen out of favour with growers.
If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
Maybe Benjanim Britten?
It is unusual to find scented roses in a florist's. They usually get their stock from abroad so it could be a variety that you can't buy in this country.
Have a good look at the stems, it might be possible to take some cuttings.Dip in hormone rooting powder and make a narrow trench with your spade, and gently firm the cuttings in. You will need to keep a check that they don't dry out, otherwise leave and if you feel they are growing move in about 18 months Hope this works!
