Through out time there are new roses that get introduced, and older roses seem to disappear. In the last half of the 1900's there was a group that did a lot of work towards bring back the old garden roses, and also there has been interest in older roses as well. Still the new roses seem to continue to replace the old roses. There have been several posts through out social media and other online places mentioning that now there are roses that are wanted, but are no longer for commercial sale. Unfortunately it seems that once a rose is gone from commerce it is hard to get it back and for some they disappear forever. You can see the video here:
There are things that you can do to help prevent roses disappearing. Some of them are:
> Contact nurseries and see if you can send cuttings of non patented roses to them.
> Due to transportation laws, insects, and diseases, this is best done locally, but join a rose group and pass around rose cuttings in you r local area.
> Start cuttings and sell them in a garage sale.
Here is the link that I referred to in the video:

What is the name of the rose in the photograph please? It would be good to know since it’s disappearing and if one has it you can take some cuttings. Thank you.
