I purchased four fragrant roses from Jackson&Perkins about 8 years or so ago. The roses were sold together, and one was French Perfume, which I loved, two were English Roses and the last one was a dark pink almost fuchia colored rose that was beautiful and smelled terrific. I don't know what this rose was called. I no longer have these roses since I moved, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a gorgeous dark pink rose that smells wonderful--that can carry a scent when you walk past it and also that can fill a room with it's wonderful scent when it is cut.

The McCartney Rose is not a dark pink but a medium mauve pink and it has one of the strongest scents of the hybrid teas. It has also won many medals for it's fragrance.

Mine were very prone to rust, zone 10b, southern California. Loved the blooms--perfection. Finally shovel pruned my two McCartney roses as I couldn't beat the rust.

I particulary like the Double Delight Rose. It is two toned, dark pink to white but it has a beautiful fragrance. I bring them to the office to sit on my desk for everyone to enjoy....

I am interested in crossing several roses that have patents. I know that I cannot propogate the originals without permission but can I use them to breed without permission?

Yes, it is legal to use patented roses in a breeding program without asking for permission. Only the rose cultivar is patented.

I'm looking to try a little cross breeding project for fun does anyone here know weather or not any of these are fertile? I know GC produces hips. any info on fertile david Austin's would be fantastic so i can try this out

If you become a premium member, you’ll have full access to lineage information… parentage, descendants (if any), etc. Quite invaluable if you intend to hybridize.

Very many simply collected any hips which formed, cleaned and planted the seeds, then selected anything which seemed worthwhile to them. Read old rose books. The vast majority of "new roses" were simply self seedlings of established varieties and offered nothing new, nor improved. It was in response to that, and to the importation of foreign roses unsuited for many of the American climates American rose producers banded together and formed the AARS, in an effort to filter out the undesirables.

Yes, many of the early rose hybridizers did collect hips and planted the seeds that today we would call "selfs". The theory behind the name is that the pollenating insect went from one bloom to the next on the same plant and most likely deposited pollen from the same plant to the new bloom.
Yet hybridzers also planted roses that they hoped the natural pollenators would pollenate for them near each other to develop new and different varieties of roses. They were experts at grafting the roses to rootstock they grew themselves to bring the plants to market.
There are some wonderful books written about rose history that can tell you a lot about the early hybridizers. For me, this kind of reading made growing roses just that much more interesting.

Charles Quest-Ritson in Climbing Roses of the World, p 88, gives a parentage of "'William Allen Richardson' X 'Mme Pierre Guillot'".

Where is this parentage attested in contemporary records? I don't find it anywhere.
