I think there is room for both threads as this one is a bit more restricted in scope than the other. It is perfectly natural for people to post comments of appreciation for a good photo, especially when they inform future choices of plants for one's own garden, so yes, as ever, we have to skim past the "fluff" to the essential.
I don't see the need for discourtesy from either "side". @bédé is a known sinner in this regard and deserves criticism when he trangresses but classic/old roses are surely deserving of a thread of their own.
Nobody has to read this or any other thread that may cause offence.
