I'm still working on it, as you know from the post in the mystery rose forum. There are two that have me baffled, but most of them were fairly easy to find. I have the ARS rose encyclopedia and Peter Beales big book, along with some smaller books on gallicas and ogrs in general. The internet was a great deal of help, and falling in with the right people at the right time. I am allergic to roses, almost never have them in the house, but it has become a bit of a passion to find out who these charmers are and very interesting to find the history of each one. I am astounded that some of these go back 700 years.
a couple more old pics of the centifolias (and yes, I did count every petal on at leas two blossom of each of the roses).
