QuestionMy great uncle had a rose bush he called a Vogue. I can not find any information on this rose. Is it obsolete? He
said it was between a pink and a peach. It is a floribunda. We had a start from the same rose, but it's more of a pink color. Does the type of soil contribute to the color of the rose? Thank you.
AnswerI actually can remember the floribunda called Vogue as I am a fan oft the breeder Gene Boerner. It was introduced some time in the early 1950s and was a peachy pink colour with a strong fragrance. Here are a couple of nurseries that still carry Vogue.
