Beautiful. The intensity and clarity of contrast in this bloom is 'Flaming Peace' at its very best of colour.

Thank you for sharing an aged bloom.
I appreciate seeing all sides to a rose; not just its very best.

That's too bad because it's been used a lot by breeders.

Including you, I see, Robert. Did you use it enough to develop a breeder’s impression?

I used it a couple of seasons , then let it go, but I still have lots of descendants.
It can produce fragrance in offspring. It's fertile both ways but a little easier for pollen.
Knowing what I know now, and having better options, I would have skipped it entirely.

Unbelievable , I received mid-June as a gift , a new Julia Child ! I wanted to cry , I put her in a very shady area since all my locations in sun were busy by other roses . Imagine ! She never stop to bloom and not even one leave with black spot since then..! I kept her soil always WET since she were always in bloom . So julia prefer shady area and wet soil to don't have black spot ? or again between species there is some specimen more resistant to black spot ?

Julia may not be susceptible to whichever strain of Blackspot is endemic to your area.
If she is healthy for you, that's great.
She's apparently excellent in most of Southern CA.

Yes this new specimen seems to resist to black spot very well . The one I had before her was always having black spot . The only difference is that I put the new one in a very shady area and I keep the soil very wet all the time ... The one I had before with always black spot was in a very sonny hot spot ... She was such a black spot magnet that I got rid of her ...
