Unfortunately it is time to make the plant list of Ruston's Roses a historic archive. Many of the remaining plants of the HRIA Tea collection have been dug up, and we hope they will survive transplanting. The rest are to be demolished.
Rockhill's plant list should be removed, as she died several years ago, and I think Cree is no longer with us either.

In cooler weather I can detect a definite daphne scent from this rose. Quite marvellous.

This classic gal is getting hard to find.
I only know of Rogue Valley Roses to offer her nowadays; as of August 6, 2025, she is in stock there, and I've ordered three.
My last try from Roses Unlimited died over her first winter, and RU has elected to no longer offer 'Charlotte Armstrong'.
I've sought her since middle school, so it's been twenty to twenty-five years to find and acquire her.

If you ever find them, you also want Banner, Charlotte's striped sport and Stockton Beauty, a darker sport of her.

In no ways is this as strong as Peace so be warned if you want to try this one. I agree, the color is quiute mutuable, sometimes pink and white-ish, sometimes burgundy and gold............generally whichever end of the scale it opens as it ends as ashey purple and buff which to me is not at all objectionable......if you go into your relationship with Flaming Peace understanding it really belongs, in my opinion, in the mauve-grey-odd-freak camp with all the imagined plus-es and for real minuses of that camp, you will be pleased. If you go into the relationship expecting anything at all along the lines of Peace itself or Chicago Peace, you will be saddened..............

At my place, it behaves better than Peace or Chicago Peace. Better disease resistant. (on a rootstock)
And always interesting how the colours of a single flower evolves!

I've found that, being a sport essentially differing in colour only, 'Flaming Peace' behaves identically to its sport sibling 'Chicago Peace' and parent, 'Peace'.
The plants are exactly the same in appearance and habit for me, and CP and FP are on Dr. Huey and R. multiflora respectively.
