Simon, why do many cocktail names in Difford's Guide have the word "Cocktail" in them? It never seems necessary. Another example is "El Diablo Cocktail", and Grand Duchess Cocktail

Agreed. Not necessary. Something that stems from vintage books.

I didn't have any rose water, so substituted the sugar syrup for some elderflower and rose syrup I had in the pantry. Worked quite well !

I like this one a lot. To me, the raspberry is a bit too dominating, so I replace half of the Chambord with Bourbon for a bit more boozy variant that is still deliciously complex.

Really enjoyed this cocktail. The flavor was wonderfully complex with the black raspberry of the Chambord and the floral undertones of the rose water. I'll be coming back to this one again.

Is there a suitable substitute for rose water?

Perhaps orange blossom water? If you have some left over from making grenadine.

I tried St. Germain which worked.
