They used to have this one at Heirlooms. It was quite an amazing rose, but it had one problem. It likes to hang its head.
In really cool weather you can see some hand painting.

Among many others, I have planted this summer the rose "Candella" in my garden.
During the summer the red blends were quite lovely. It is not the most fragrant or most floriferous in Victoria, BC Canada, but now (November) from the cold (I presume), the flowers are medium pink on the outside and the dark red shows only on the basal half of the inside petals, the outer edges are blending gently to the same soft rose pink as the reverse. Quite a stunning combination!
