I've seen several phone app's which say they can identify any plant by scanning it.
I'm interested as I have a few roses and other plants that I would like to identify.
Do any members have any experience of these apps or have one?
Thanks for all replies.

I use Picture This. Seems to work OK. Try the free version and see what you think.

They'll struggle to identify a specific rose when there are hundreds of them out there.
However, they're very good for most sorts of ID, just not infallible.

I use the iNaturalist Nat Geo app "Seek". Seems to work very well.
