I have an old rose that I got from my mother in law that we call the Father’s Day rose. It is a pink rose with a heavenly scent that always blooms on Father’s Day. You have inspired me to research the old roses and see if I can find a name or at least a classification.

I LOVE rambling roses — the Albrighton Rambler is pretty perfect! Thank you for all the updates! xx

Bless you for committing to preserving these roses! We grow mostly old garden roses, plus a few David Austin roses. All of ours were originally purchased at the Antique Rose Emporium in Independence, Texas, which is now under new ownership. We are hoping that they will continue to offer the OGRs as they are so special. The ones that seem to do best in our area of northwest Houston are the Chinas, Teas, Noisettes, and Hybrid Musks. We’ll be following your progress with delight and excitement!

I really enjoyed reading about saving the roses. Roses are so cool. I have been trying to grow them for several years now. My favorite is a Margie rose,I got a cutting from a 90 year old lady, I took care of for years. She said she got it during the war. From Swansons in Ballard Wa. It is a tiny pink rose. It doesnt have thorns. It smells amazing.

So many beautiful options to choose from… it would be very hard to pick just one. I have no roses now but am excited to try. So, looking at The Collection on The Friends of Vintage Roses site I first thought I would say Albas but then looked at the Centifolias and ended up at Gallicas to which I will claim to be my favourite at this time :-)

A variety I hope to grow is alchymist! It’s so beautiful, and it doesn’t look like an ordinary rose. The color, to me, is just magical!

There is not a particular variety that I am hoping to grow but I would love to have a vibrant yellow rose! And I’m open to recommendations!

I would love to add the Arizona Rose to my Flower Garden. I love the change in colors from peach to pink. Absolutely beautiful!

I grow 3 roses and so far, my favorite is Reine Des Violettes. Growing roses in GA clay is HARD but worth it.

I want to add La Ville de Bruxelles to my yard this coming year. We finally have enough sunlight in the yard to make roses work!
