Thanks for all the answers so far. Iris (suggested for 2) is the answer to a clue I've done. LIAM (10) makes sense to me. I don't see the county element iin Honesty (3.)
9. Single Rose
I can't think of anything else for no.3 Lorcan

it's definitely something Rose gen2 but I'm not sure you would refer to a flower in the garden as a single rose
Lorcan is it Country or County?
Question Author
I've checked. Definately country. Whilst looking at a list of plants earlier I wondered about 'Marvel of Peru.'
Lorcan ,
. . . but a charactistic of 'Old Maids' is that they are still single.

Could it be 'single' as opposed to 'double'. i.e. a rose with a single layer of petals like the dog-rose?
9 primrose
Question Author
Looked up rose on wikipedia. Could be Gooseberry Rose (playing gooseberry)? Or even Virginia Rose (Virgin Queen Elizabeth.)
3. I agree with Mazie who gave the answer as Honesty.
Can honesty not be the virtue of "a country" without naming a specific country?
