"Rustler's Gold" -- an old found HT of Pernetiana type, which is nevertheless good in my coastal climate. (Not in Commerce.)

I also grow (and love) 'Irish Fireflame,' a single HT (Dickson, Ireland, 1914) which is incredibly fragrant.

Debbie, I remembered a thread from last fall on the Antiques forum. Some nice photos too...

I (heart) Mrs. Oakley Fisher and Dainty Bess, but they don't (heart) me, sniffle.

Hi redsox

Here Ophelia is still popular among those who are interested in roses. I don't have it but it grows as well as any modern, and with the finest fragrance.

I grow Etoile de Hollande both the bush and the climber. Very large, very fragrant flowers. I really like them both, but here it is as a climber it is spectacular.

I don't know if Peace counts, it is so common and not so old, officially introduced in 1942 as Gloria Dei. I have had some conflicting stories about this rose, but I believe Meilland propagated and grew it in the mid 1930's.

I have Gruss an Archen and really like it.

I am looking for a grafted Amelia Earhart, I cannot have HT ownroot. If any one have this plant I am very much in need of some budwood :-)

Debbie, this is Careless Love, 1950. I don't know how old you're looking for.

Gruss an Aachen is probably my oldest floribunda.

I LOVE Careless Love.
And while you're considering that, check out Radiance, (1908, Cook, U.S.), Red Radiance, Mrs. Charles Bell, and all the rest of that wonderful Radiance family from which it sprang.

They were great roses in their day, and they still are.
Said to be roses that would grow and flourish anywhere that "civilized man" was able to live.
You can't beat that with a stick.

Debbie, another HT that I saw pictures of is Lady Mary Fitzwilliam. I don't know how well it is for disease resistance but it looks beautiful.
