Growing conditions makes a huge difference.
South Seas, Frist Prize, Medallion, Brandy, French Perfume, are a few that come to mind.
There are probably newer varieties with which I am less familiar. Good luck!

Hi Robert, thanks for the wonderful suggestions, i already have South Seas and First Prize in my garden. I will check the availability of other roses.

Some huge flowers over balance their plants. David Austin's 'Golden Celebration' offers, for those who have room for it, huge gold blooms on a large, vigorous and well foliaged plant. I understand it can be trained as a climber.
The largest hybrid perpetual is probably 'Paul Neyron'. In India, you might get a decent sized plant; for me in New York state, it was a one cane wonder.

Hi Nastarana, thanks for your great suggestions. Golden Celebrations was in my wish-list for so long, i will buy once its is available. Here in India it is very difficult to get rose varieties in nurseries, also the big rose companies like David Austin, Heirloom Roses, Ludwig's etc are not available. The Paul Neyron rose is growing bushier but it rarely blooms unlike my other roses.

I agree with Mr. Rippetoe that local conditions play a big role, e.g., in my location Paul Neyron blooms are only average size.
Medallion grows pretty large for me, but my consistently largest blooms (from over 100 cultivars) are from Papa Meilland. But that may be only because he finds my conditions perfect…

Hello Lee, yes i'm planning to buy the Medallion rose, i have Papa Meilland in my garden but the plant is very small as its been only 2-3 months since i brought it, it bloomed 2 times but the blooms were average size due to the plant being small. I have big hopes for Papa Meilland ????.

Using HMF’s advanced search, under “bloom characteristics”, you can search all roses for extra large blooms, and then add in any number or other characteristics, such as color, to limit the search to a manageable number.
