English Roses
- Crossings between Old Roses and Modern Roses have resulted in a completely new class of English Roses. English Roses have the full charm, fragrance, grace and doubling of the Gallicas, Centifolias and Damasks of old, paired with the repeat flowering habit of the new. This is an attempt to present them according to color with their respective parentage.
