Is this not yet finished?? It contains some interesting info. though.
I'm a bit of an old rose nut, myself. They may flower once a year (well, how many flowering shrubs flower twice, anyway??) but the different forms, scents and flower types make them definitely worthwhile.
Just tracking down a few old roses myself, some Bourbons and Moss for starters (a Capitane John Ingram and a Kronprinzessen Victoria). I'm always on the lookout for interesting old roses. Graveyards are a good place to hunt them, I've found. The trouble is that it can be difficult to identify your new treasures, and have to rely on "Olde Churchyard in ..." as a name.
