This is a rose that is growing at my work. It has only been there for a little more than a year. This spring's bloom was better than the plant's blooming was last year. I think that it is due to it still being young in the ground and should get better and more consistent with age, hopefully.

Munstead Wood
Bred by David Austin. Predominantly purple in color, but it can red out as well. It is fragrant. The Portland rose garden in Oregon has a bed of it along a walk way. That is where I am most familiar with it. I am growing it at work, but it has only been there since this year. Time will show what it will do. For more information:

At Last
This rose is currently at my work. It is healthy and reblooms pretty regularly. Helpmefind.com lists the color as apricot, but to me it looks more like a soft orange. The shape of the flowers I would call cupped. The growth seems to be more lax than upright. For more information:

Happy accident
This is a picture from a couple of roses that I grew in my Salem Oregon garden. I no longer have either rose. The rose in the front is Purple Tiger by Jack Christensen, introduced in 1991. The rose in background is Tricolore de Flandre, bred in 1844. It was by complete accident that these two roses were put next to each other. However the fact that Purple Tiger is a repeat blooming rose and Tricolore de Flandre is not it is nice that the stripes and purple are continued on.
For more information on either rose you can go here:

Ellen Tofflemire
Ellen Tofflemire, bred by Paul Barden
This is the first summer this plant has bloomed in my Missouri garden. Unfortunately I didn't get a lot of blooms because the rabbits ate several of the canes right before they bloomed.
Ellen Tofflemire is one of the new introductions to the Gallica class. You can find more information on this link:
