Thank you for this information. Are these photos all from Reiman Gardens? Are all the Buck roses on the website of the Iowa State University now planted there, or only those with your photos?

Yes, all of these photos are from the Buck Rose Collection at Reiman Gardens.
We are missing a few roses still, but have most of them.
We are missing 'Allamand-Ho', 'Almost Heaven', 'Andante', 'Cantabile', 'Dawn's Kiss', 'El Catala', 'Freckle Face', 'Kissin Cousin', 'Pippa's Song', 'Pizzicato', 'Polka Time', 'Prairie Clogger', 'Prairie Heritage', 'Red Sparkler', and 'Summer Melody'. A handful of these we are just waiting on our supplier to grow out, but most are entirely missing and not in production.

Thank you! We have a listing for Reiman Gardens. Would you like to manage the listing and add the roses which are there?

Absolutely - I didn't even think to look for an RG profile. Thanks!

Griff's Red does surprisingly well in gulf coast zone 8b conditions. Disease resistant and vigorous. It is close to what I would call a true red. Vigorous and almost continuous bloom. It is a favorite of mine. A less well known rose but of significant garden value for my region.

With a little fertilizer and some room this rose will really take off once established. I've found the blooms bordering on informal, but the repeat is reliable, the fragrance is adequate, flower production is impressive, color impact is wonderful, it is an eager hip setter, it responds well to pruning, and is not terribly challenged by fungus if given a reasonable care ( I use some sulfur in the spring if it is very wet). I've been growing it for at least eight years. Took a few to really get going, but once started you can't really stop it.

Definitely not 16-20" tall. Mine is currently 3.5'. It's a very linear rose, and I'd compare it to a grandiflora in plant shape, bloom size. Like, similar dimensions as Octoberfest, but a little less narrow than Octoberfest. Well, something like that. Like between the dimensions of Octoberfest and Aunt Honey, I would say.
