Pictures of Old Roses

Aglaia rose bush File#2462 Hybrid Multiflora

Our large and growing collection of pictures of old garden roses. Most classes of old roses are pictured here.

Strictly speaking old garden roses are those existing before 1867. We've taken a few liberties here and have included roses bred up to the first half of the 20th century.

Its a a lot of fun getting this collection together. We've seen some amazing gardens, met some of the most dedicated and knowledgeable old rose enthusiasts and learned a lot along the way. A lot of rose growers start with moderns and move on to old garden roses. Maybe these pictures will help you see why.
