In article m, VX

In said catalogue there are some very interesting-looking roses, described
thus:

"Perfectly bred from traditional old roses they combine vast improvements in
scent, form, colour and repeat flowering ability..."

Yet these amazing roses do not have names other than "Scented pink double
rose" or (substitute white/apricot/gold/cerise/red).

I know that un-named plants can be really good, but with roses i suppose I'm
conditioned to expect an actual NAME. If they are that good, surely...?

Does anyone know anything about these?

If they are as good as the description then I need a few of these and in a
hurry.

Or if I need to be looking somewhere else for this sort of thing, do please
point the way!

David Austin does a lot with old fashioned form and good scent and so
on, and repeat flowering ability. And proper names ;-) How much cheaper
are these?
