Just took a look at the set & using HMF, found 39 of the 50 roses seem to be still available to buy. This was a very quick calculation. So could be wrong. I was thinking of possibly growing some shown on the set. Those who know the cards, have you got any depicted on them

I have a set of those. The frame for them ended up costing a lot more than the cards which were like $5. The set I have is 1926. There's several familiar roses like Lady Hillingdon, Los Angeles, Lady Roberts, Ophelia, Caroline Testout, Lady Alice Stanley, Blush Rambler. I had a few of those, but didn't keep them.

Oh dear., Mine need framing. I think the 1926 had a few of the same roses in it, as the 1912 set. I like the look of Juliet, but think it's difficult to find.
