Oh that's ok, Kayj.. No problem, I hope you enjoy your rose as much as I do..
@Nollie Yes I do, Older Hybrid Teas and Floribundas.. not many of them around now so they have that rarity value but it's always evolving with time moving on.. I'm not a stickler for rose protocol and like to move with the times updating as we go, and roses from the 1920's are now 100 years old, so I think we can all choose for ourselves in the rose world these days..
Besides 'Peace', the next big name in roses was 'Frensham' [1946] which soon became the most desired of red roses for the next 10 years or so.. these I consider in the first group of modern roses..
The mild temps have helped roses to be in bloom for longer I guess.. Mid November now and still enjoying my roses.. most have shut down but own root Munstead, Poets Wife and Royal Jubilee in bloom where as their bigger counterparts have shut shop for a while now.. not sure being own root is influencing this. Possibly just that these new 1st year cuttings are still getting adjusted to the seasons. A few roses that has continued to impress are.... Dioressence..
Elizabeth..
Strawberry Hill..
Super Trouper..
Shame ST isn't fragrant.. My Young Lycidas is still producing blooms with strong fragrance...Harlow Carr, Twice in a Blue moon are others in bloom..
On the topic of Old roses.. Wanted to know how your La France has performed @Marlorena Does it ball in the rain? I know it does not rain as much over there.. I guess someone else also had grown it here.. was it @Victoria Sponge
My mum loved roses. I can remember both Peace and Frensham in our garden in the '50s as well as a massive New Dawn
The garden conditions here are better suited to rugosas and others such as ramblers that can take some rough and tumble and a degree of neglect.The garden is too big for one 27 year old to keep up!
I have a New Dawn here and others that seem not to mind too much include: Geranium, Cerise Bouquet, William Lobb, Honorine de Brabant and lovely Gardener's Glory on the south facing back wall, whose roots run almost entirely under the huge flagstones that were once the floor of the cottage. It is still flowering in November, despite heavy rains and strong winds.
Also trying in a more sheltered spot are Champagne Moment and a pink HT whose label has long since gone astray. I really need to find a new home for my Gypsy Boy/Zigeuner Knabe, he has needed some cosseting this year, as is his site has become over shaded. Lord Byron though is thriving on neglect by the wall in the veg garden
Wow, some gorgeous roses you have there, @Buttercupdays. William Lobb was part of DA's Chelsea Show display this year and it was (to me) easily the most-eye-catching of everything they had there!
Loving everyone's late roses. Also so many bareroots being planted, so much to look forward to. 😊
Here are some of my roses which were battered by the rain, but still standing today. Evelyn May Jayne Austin Louise Clements and Golden Celebration in the vase. And a few dahlias too.
Oxford. The City of Dreaming Spires.
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth
Trevor White delivered again, Mutabilis (left) and William Shakespeare 2000Is Strawberry Hill in a pot @cooldoc? Is it possible to thwart its climbing tendencies?
..such huge roots.. 'Mutabilis'... my plant today after just 2 seasons.. it likes some space.. 'Forever Royal'.. ..an odd scene for time of year.. 'Wild Rover' way up.. 'Blush Noisette'.. Rowan tree colouring up..
@cooldoc Sorry I can't remember, I don't think it had any rain on it this year.. perhaps best placed in a pot on a pedestal as blooms tend to look down, and it's very sniffable..

Re: Ebb Tide, I note the Pococks catalogue also says "not a strong grower" and they verge slightly on the side of hype for all the descriptions.
