Try this:

If you love your roses I can recommend the book by Valerie Swane mentioned
at the end, she is highly respected and has written a number of books
regarded as "the bible" in Australia.

My personl favourites for strong rose pong are 'Mr Lincoln" and 'Papa
Meilland' - both deep red, but then I don't find that a problem.
