James,

I was surprised to find Marion's Magenta and Frances Lynn. I grew these from seed and named them for my wife and myself. I still grow the latter. I grew easily many different polys from a package of Angel Roses from Germany in the late 80's. One was exactly the same as Lindee (ARE). Others were double pink and large golden stamens. One conclusion I can share is that a vast number of found polyanthas are Angel Rose seedlings.

I am looking for a rose I remember from my Mother's house in the 70s. It had profuse clisters of small double blooms, in red. She called in Lady Banksia. As far as I know, Lady Banksia only comes in white or yellow. However, someone told me that Dortmund rose used to be referred to as 'red Lady Banks'. I looked at DOrtmund, and it looks kind of close, except the blooms aren't double. Is there a double form of this? Or do you have any other ideas as to what this rose might be - tall shrub form, lots of clusters of small double red blooms. Small med - dark green foliage. Please help! Thanks.

Hi Tracy, just a guess but if the rose was from the 70's it could be 'Improved Blaze'. It was offered by the tens of thousands about that time. One does'nt see it that much anymore. There are no double forms of 'Dortmund' that I know of and I've never heard it called "Red Lady Banks". Thare are lots and lots of tall growing roses with red clustered flowers. Your rose could also be 'Paul's Scarlet'. Good luck in your search.. Robert

It could be Eutin which is a floribunda but it gets no more that 3 ft tall. It could also be Europeana which has small red clusters.

This is a once blooming rose and from it came a dwarf everblooming sport study-named Caldwell Pink.
