Jeri, your GMH is so pretty! I used to think that there were DA roses (full frilly ones) and then singles and hybrid teas with those raised centers (don't like those). It wasn't until I started getting into roses and learning about them, that I realized there are many roses that look like a DA rose, bloom more than once and have a great scent (plus do well here). I thought it was DA or nothing.
I then fell in love with Vick's Caprice (maybe it was Beth's picture?) and had to get my first stripey rose. You told me that antique rose would not be my last. You are the one who now has me buying Mme Franzeska Kruger, Borderer, Alice Hamilton, Souv de McKinley, Ma Perkins and have (where once DA roses were planted) Portland from Glendora, Yolande and Marchesa. Every time I buy an old rose, I hear your voice in my head telling me, "it is not going to be the last one!" I am still looking for Mme Cruex but I think she is unavailable here in the US, unfortunately. If I knew a quick way to get her here from France (along with a few others--not that I have any room), I would. She was a right pretty little thing.
