Old Garden Roses

David Austin Roses have vastly increased the popularity of  roses and particularly of old garden roses.  There are so many great roses that have hung on for years on their merits with only a few specialty gardens growing or selling any more than a few.  There are truly a broad spectrum of shapes and sizes that roses come in, from noisettes, to gallicas, and bourbons, to name a few.  There are many species roses as well, some of which have been hybridized to become the modern roses.  It may be important from a breeding standpoint to maintain the gene-pool of these roses but an absolute pleasure to the senses as well.
