Say,your old man is cute. I have a little known rose but am always curious how to get the picture on the page with the type instead of making a link.

Now let's see your pretty photos, Kaylah.

Hi Ingrid!
I have a few little known roses ... even for people in USA!! :o))

Rosa cymosa (not really the best pic, but she's still a baby....)
{{gwi:258015}}

Rosa x laevigata 'Cooperi' or "Cooper's Burmese"
{{gwi:258016}}

{{gwi:258017}}

...more comin' soon... ;o)

This is an older rose, one of Bowenell's hybrid-hybrid teas:


{{gwi:205290}}

'Charlotte Brownell'

Taken last summer

I'm not sure these are little-known, but perhaps some of these might be less familiar:

{{gwi:258018}}
Park's Yellow Tea-Scented China (it's not very yellow and not very tea-scented in my garden)

{{gwi:258020}}
Phil's Hot Pink Hybrid Perpetual (from Ashdown), a found rose

Many of mine are over on the Heritage Rose Foundation site, and I wanted to get this up before the photos fly fast and furious here. With a slow land line, photo heavy threads time out before I can get them to load, so I'll look forward to seeing this at the library later next week.
Some of mine there include Old Grey Cemetery, Dr. Frank Skinner, Deb's Voluptuous Pink, Cleveland Cemetery White, Warwick Chapel Red.

Ann, thank you for leading me to the HRF site, which I hadn't known about before. It was great seeing the roses you mentioned, and many more, and the forum as a whole is a wonderful resource, with some very knowledgable people there and comments about many roses I'm unfamiliar with. If only I had more room and more water!

Ingrid

Ann, hooray--I was going to ask if you had a good one of Old Gray Cem. My plant is very healthy but I can never seem to get any good pictures of the flowers. :-(

Looks and sounds like you have a nice guy, Ingrid! It's such a pleasure to see an American face here in Italy; you'd be surprised.

Still haven't got over that PhotoBucket hump.

I have quite a few roses, but since I've been collecting classics, I don't think any qualify as rare.

Melissa

I don't hear too much about Commandant Beaurepaire.

Ingrid----I have no idea what this rose is---My friend called me a few years ago and said the Co. her DH worked for was going to blacktop the parking lot and this rose would be destroyed---So I rushed over to get a cutting. Good thing I did because the very next day the bulldozers were there.

{{gwi:206003}}

BTW--that is quite a handsome DH you have there---and he likes to dig----great combination.

Here are mine little-known roses...

Portland Jeune Henry has never rebloomed for me
{{gwi:258078}}

These are so pretty. I've been thinking about Commandant Beaurepaire this spring.

I don't know how little known this one is but it has been a sleeper here...admittedly in the shade of some bigger roses. I moved it out of the shade this spring and it is stretching out and ready to get bigger. Does anyone know how big it gets?

Souvenir d'Elise Vardon

{{gwi:258079}}

I don't hear much about this one but think it's very sweet and a very good plant:

Belle Doria

{{gwi:230282}}

Oh my gosh, this has turned into a visual feast! Thank you all so very much for your wonderful, absolutely gorgeous roses and also a thank you to you nice ladies who complimented my husband.

I thought I might be able to pick out a favorite rose but it proved to be completely impossible. There is such a wealth of beautiful, fascinating roses here. So much to admire and to learn about.

Gratefully yours,

Ingrid

I'm enjoying this immensely as well--thanks to everyone! I've been tempted by Odee Pink from the ARE catalog photo--nice to know it's as beautiful "in person". :-)
The Souv.d'Elise Vardon is absolutely gorgeous--now I'm having to put that on my thinking-about-yellows list. :-)
Celestialrose, I have Merville and think she's just elegant. Your Belle Doria is exquisite--is she a gallica?

If you all haven't posted pictures of your rare beauties at HelpMeFind.com, please consider doing so. I know I visit the site so often for help. I just now have plants large enough to submit photos of, but I hope that mine might help others who are trying to decide on a particular cultivar.

Everyone has posted beautiful pictures.
Linda, I really like Souv.d' Elise Vardon!

Carla

Rosa bhutan (not a recognized species, I take it). Sorry it's not in bloom. This is its first spring. There used to be a "Rosa bhutan" in Heirloom's catalog ten years ago or so; we got this one from Rogue Valley Roses. I don't know a thing about it, except what you see. RVR described it as a vigorous rambler with cream blossoms. We'll see. I like surprises. :)

{{gwi:258096}}

This is a great post--thanks Ingrid---I've been enjoying it very much.--Of course--I want them all----LOL

Florence

OMG All of these roses are so beautiful! I don't have a photo of mine, but there is one on help me find which looks exactly like mine. My unusual rose is Souvenir de la Reine d'Angleterre, a Hyprid Perpetual. If anyone has this rose I would love to know how wide it gets, I am having a difficult time believing that it could be 4' tall and 6-9' wide.
Diana

It seems few people grow or know about this rose. She's a climbing Tea, fragrant and pretty wonderful.

La Nymphe-Noisette

{{gwi:258097}}

Many blooms from this first flush balled due to a double whammy-thrips/botrytis-but a few managed to open.

{{gwi:258099}}

This is Mademoiselle Blanche Laffitte-a bourbon. No balling on this rose. The petals are luminous-like blushing alabaster.
