The safest thing to do when a named Brug has lost it's tag is to re-label it a NOID as it is nearly impossible to correctly ID them even if you are looking at the actual plant. Impossible from a photo especially from one taken from that angle.

Believe me it is heart wrenching to have to call it a noid. I have had to tag a named cultivar with a NOID label if the label has faded or disappeared. I didn't expect a Sharpie to fade that quickly and before I could replace a label with a more permanent one, I'd find a blank label. They fade very quickly here in our Texas sun. I started an inventory of my Brugs this winter and discovered a larger number of NOIDS than I thought I had.

Please enjoy your now nameless Brugs for the beauties they are and don't attempt to re-name them. The chances of mis-labeling them is too great. Since we tend to share cuttings, we would then be passing around those mislabeled Brugs adding to a growing number of mislabeled plants.

Here's a winter photo of my Rosalie before she died later in the year. She had a string resemblance to her mother Rothkirch.
