This is no longer for sale in the US, buy I'm willing to pay for a cutting. Does it perform reasonably on its own roots?

Sometimes sold on Etsy for way overprice.

I’m beginning to believe that one can make a tidy side hustle with discontinued Austin roses. Same story with Jude the Obscure.
It’s only overpriced if you can’t find willing buyers…

They seem to be quite the status symbol in some quarters. I wonder if the DA company will not live to regret its' aggressive culling policy.

lol, I hope you live long enough to see that! They have been culling better roses for poorer roses since their early days, sometimes just to replace a pink rose on the market without patent protection with one that did get patented.

Ding ding ding. Watch what Star does now that the KO patents will start to wane.

just for the record and a bit off-topic, can you recommend good older DA cultivars that are worth to grow?
I kinda like their older ones anyway, Summer Song was quite new but stopped - one of my favourites still.
i really don't have a problem with it as long as it's treated like a HT or floribunda, harder pruning etc

‘Starlight’ is shown as the pollen parent of Nola Simpson’s ‘Something Different’.
Because HelpMeFind list seven ‘Starlight’s and ‘Something Different’ is said to be tall, I have had a stab at Christensen’s 1986 grandiflora as the parent. If anybody knows anything different....

Seems probably because McGredy used it.

Origin of 'Valence Dubois'?

The flower looks the part, Rosenlexikon calls it an HP, and Joyaux seems to doubt its classification as a Gallica. I wonder if 'Valence' has ever been known to rebloom?
I think you're onto something, but where was this pretty thing hiding between the 1850's and when it was inventoried at Sangerhausen in 1962?

I might have received a fake RDV, it has prickles all over and blooms are quartered old fashioned about 1.5 inch.. Blooms actually resemble that of Amanda Petanotte. I got mine from High Country Roses. I will post pictures when it blooms this year(2024)
