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.
This rose is lovely, but mine has grown to almost 10' tall, and is happily climbing my Linden tree. It looks gorgeous when it blooms. It lives in part shade and still blooms. It doesn't seem to notice winter much. It gets no blackspot, no mildew, no rust. Just an easy, pretty rose.
