I like the romantic names. :) One of my great pleasures as a child was poring over the Jackson and Perkins catalog every year--we never had roses in our yard but I loved looking at the pictures and imagining a rose garden.

My only Austins are "Heritage", "Othello" and "English Garden", but I plan to add "Fair Bianca". “Scentimental” was bred by Tom Carruth for Weeks Roses, and “Double Delight” was Ellis and Swim (for J&P?).
