'Anci Böhmová'   Breeder: Found by Jan Bohm, 1929, Czechoslovakia (former).   Parentage: 'Marietta Silva Tarouca' sport.  Class: hybrid multiflora.  The flowers are deep pink fading a little lighter.  This distinguishes them from their lighter and more pastel sport parent.

Andreas Hofer ..... The rose of this name previously grown at Sangerhausen, had small, double, deep pink flowers fading to very light pink that were carried in large clusters.  It was nearly thornless with a height of 9 to 10 feet (3 meters). The earlier descriptions specify red flowers for this rose. It is no longer listed in the Sangerhausen catalogue and appears to be grown nowhere else.

Apple Blossom  Breeder: Luther Burbank, 1932, United States.  Parentage: Rosa rugosa x Rosa multiflora,  Class: hybrid multiflora (rambler). Allow plenty of room for this very vigorous rose that will grow to 16 feet (5 meters) or more. Single light pink flowers with white centers blooming in very large clusters are produced by this variety, creating a sheet of colour. It was found by Philip Robinson at Burbank's old home. He believes that this is the authentic Burbank 'Apple Blossom' and the variety commonly sold under this name was Dawson's creation.

'Apple Blossom'. Breeder: Jackson Dawson, 1890 United States.  Parentage: 'Dawson' x Rosa multiflora.  Class: hybrid multiflora (rambler).   This is a rose blooming once in a massive display. The flowers are rosy pink, semi-double and carried in small to medium clusters.  The plant has very vigorous shrubby growth to 15 or 16 feet (4.5 to 5 meters).  This is the 'Apple Blossom' most often seen and the one often wrongly attributed to Burbank.

'Arcadia'  Breeder: Michael Walsh, 1913, United States ....My plant of 'Arcadia' came from a plant growing in the vicinity of Woods Hole, MA that was discovered and identified by Dan Russo and Vernon Brown, rosarians specialising in the walsh ramblers.  The flowers are small, crimson-scarlet (vermillion) double rosettes growing in clusters on a vigorous plant.  A rose named 'Arcadia' grows at Sangerhausen, but appears to be a different rose.  It has darker leaves, is a lighter colour and is not as full as those of the Massachusetts clone.

Autumn Leaves..... The garden value is mainly in the decorative hips and brilliantly colored autumn leaves rather than the small, single white flowers.

Aviateur Bleriot..... The flowers have a light fragrance and open rich apricot, a beautiful colour we fervently wish would remain, but fade through several stages to plain white, They are barely double and are carried in small clusters spaced nicely among the shiny leaves......

Ayrshire Queen ..... Originally, this pillar rose was described as semi-double and dark purple-crimson like 'Tuscany', the pollen parent. This rose is now confused with 'Splendens', which is pink. Such appears to be the case with the rose of this name at Sangerhausen.   Possibly, the true variety is extinct.

Babette. Syn 'Babette Rambler'.  Breeder: Michael Walsh, 1906, United States.  Parentage: Rosa wichurarana x hybrid multiflora.  Class: hybrid wichurana.  Long lost to the country of its birth, this rose could still be seen in several European gardens. I imported a plant a few years ago and presented replicas to several American Gardens. It blooms in clusters of medium-sized, lightly double, scentless, crimson flowers with occasional white streaks running down the petals. The petals have white bases and may have some white tipping as well. The plant has shiny leaves and is a vigorous climber to about 15 feet (5 meters).

Baltimore Belle  Syn.: 'Belle de Baltimore'.  Breeder: Samuel Feast, 1843, United States.  Parentage: Rosa setigera x a noisette.  Class: hybrid setigera,   This rose's delicacy mostly recalls the pollen parent.  The small to medium double flowers are very light pink, fading quickly to white. They are held in pendulous clusters, but the pedicels arch upward bringing them eye to eye with the viewer.  The mature flower form is a flattened cup with a button eye and often has a small green eye, as well, in the center.  There may be a suggestion of quartering of the petals. The flexible canes can grow from 10 to 13 feet  (3 to 4 meters).  Mine flowered sparsely until it was well established. This rose is not as hardy as other hybrid setigeras, but it has survived a 0°F cold spell in my garden.
