Are the roses 'Aimable Amie', 'Belle Sans Flatterie' and 'Louis van Tyll' identical, as suggested by Lars-Ake Gustavsson in his book Rosor for nordiska tradgardar (only in Swedish)? From the photos on this site those roses look similar to me also.
This question arose when I tried to identify a Gallica that I received as a gift. I settled for Aimable Amie at the time.

'Aimable Amie' differs from 'Belle Sans Flatterie' in that it tends to reach five feet in height and has a strong fragrance, while 'Belle Sans Flatterie' reaches only about three feet and has only a light scent. (I know that doesn't answer your question about 'Louis van Tyll', which also has a strong scent.)

Thanks. I may have to change my opinion then, since my roses are forming a 15 meters long hedge now, and they are certainly less than a meter high. They are scented, but I'm not sure I would call it a strong fragrance. I'll try and decide this summer.

I uploaded Bill Grant's photo of the 1836 Anacreon (I inherited his rose photo collection), but the caption added the words from my previous upload. Please delete "as seen in Ringabu gardens, Sweden, July 2024" from the caption of this Anacreon.

Wouldn't it be better to leave location and time?

That is not the time or where it was taken. I don't have that information. Bill Grant is not alive and so I can't establish the location or the time at which the photo of 'Anacreon' was taken.

Why is there no listing for 'Aldal', a rose i encountered twice in Sweden and Norway? I can provide a note and a photo.

Because not yet all found roses from Sweden have been added to HMF.

'Coquette des Alpes' is listed as commercially available, but under "Buy From" only archives are listed.

That is a snag of the software, it does not discern between archived and current nurseries.

In other words, it is not commercially available, right?
