Though I refrain from calling it 'varnish roan' and stick just with varnish, because using the word 'roan' can offer the confusion that the horse has roan also.
In fact, I'd just call this horse a brown with snowflakes. Having the snowflakes already assumes that the horse will varnish, because of the Lp. But each person might word it differently.
