There are 2 huge climbing roses, a honeysuckle and a clematis in my garden which I think are both at least 30 years old. You can see where one of the roses has had past stems of a fairly large diameter cut back to the ground. It's been flowering from May and is still going.
The other rose has grown through an arch with later flowers up to 4 meters in the air.
"Well" does this count? I have a Peony cutting in my garden that came from Dads Garden, he knew it as a child and it was a mature bush then we think it went into the garden pre 1900 possibly 10-20 years prior so does a cutting count.

I have a fuschia in the garden that is around 35 yrs old. Does that qualify?
I have a cyclamen hederafolium corm that's about 40 yrs old, I moved it 3 years ago, was about the size of an iPad!! Still flowering

wow those are some tough plants.
Funnily enough I recently moved a Cyclamen Hed. the Corm was only about the size of my Palm though.

well the original plant certainly does count, for an herbaceous plant to live over 100 years is epic!
