Some of the roses blooming for me this spring. Top to bottom: Ellen Tofflemire bred by Paul Barden, Marianne bred by Paul Barden and Tuscany Superb
Ellen Tofflemire and Marianne are both recent additions to the Gallica class of roses. The Gallica class is one of the European old garden roses classes. Tuscany Superb is a Gallica rose as well, but was bred pre 1837.
I guess that you can call Ellen Tofflemire and Marianne new old garden roses.
