I found my 2006 edition of the Combined Rose List. I really thought I had thrown it out because it was so useless. There are no pictures, as I said. It's a small book, 6" x 9", and it's 272 pages. pp 1-5 are the introduction and the keys to the abbeviations used in the text, pp 6-24 list the nurseries, pp 25-270 are the alphabetical list of rose names with a bit of information about each, and pp 271-262 list some rose organizations and provide information about the editors. Here's a typical rose entry:
Square Dancer S dp Buck 1973 MR11 - N5, R13
This means it's a deep pink shrub, bred by Buck in 1973, listed in Modern Roses 11, and available at nurseries N5 (Northland Rosarium) and R13 (Roses Unlimited).
You can see how limited it is: No information on fragrance, height, bloom shape, number of petals, frequency of bloom, hardiness zones, parentage, and a variety of other things we want to know, so please don't waste your money on it.
