Years ago, I found a rose label drifting in the rose bed

any rose. It said "Prince Igor".

Here you are, it's a Meilland bred rose:

Thanks Sacha. That makes sense as the nursery that supplied the
plants for my garden for the original owners of my garden were heavily
into Meillands. And it IS red, just as I thought with a name like
that
:-))

Meilland developed the lovely Peace rose and if you haven't read the book
For Love of a Rose, I think you'd enjoy it very much.
