I thought I would mention that suddenly, the comments of anyone posting as an "unregistered guest" do not automatically create normal paragraph lengths, and run off the page (at least on an ipad). See picture

Yes, this is a "feature" (read bug) of the new editor HMF uses. It is a well known problem evidently. We will be make a fix soon.
Please may I use your wonderful photo of R. 'Queen of the Prairies'? This is to accompany an article about American roses in the autumn issue 2025 of the 'Historic Rose Journal', published by the Historic Roses Group of the UK, which I edit. If you have a high-resolution version, that would be perfect.
I'm not sure if this request will go direct to you so I'll send it as a private message as well.
The reported Breeder code of 'Winschoten' was MEIfani. However, as some sites list it as a synonym of 'Duftfestival' (MEIafone), maybe someone from Meilland could clarify.
If thats in China, likely either a Chinese or French cultivar. Where is this, to help narrow it down? The foliage looks quite modern, but there are tons of cream HT roses out in the world.Also reminds me of some Harkness and various Netherlands types. Like probably not Caroline Victoria, but somewhat similar bloom color and foliage shape.

Exactly, the leaves are too glossy or "modern" with the old-HT-like big flower
but it's grown with the old HTs such as Double Delight, Peace, Tiffany, Elle, Altesse 75 , Rouge Meilland, Dortmond, Broadway and so on, so it should be a relatively old one....the only "newer" one is Florentina(the red ADR climber from Kordes)
it's in a park in Beijing, and most parks in Beijing only grow the old HTs. Even David Austins are rare, so you can imagine the "list" is not very new...
