I have a rose that is terribly "out of style". An old Vogue floribunda that was moved from my mother's house years ago ahead of the bulldozers in the heat of NC August. The bushes did survive and got moved again out here to the woods 10 years ago. I think that is amazing for roses that were old, eaten up every year with blackspot, and dizzy with being moved. I finally rooted some cuttings and the two results look fairly good. The 3 olds girls look terrible, but keep going. I love the Vogue color (pink coral) and the fragrance is heavenly - I don't any others compare to it. But I bet I am alone in my admiration for this old rose - I never see it sold anywhere although I think it is available from a couple of on line places. It is definitely "out of fashion".
