Are the roses 'Aimable Amie', 'Belle Sans Flatterie' and 'Louis van Tyll' identical, as suggested by Lars-Ake Gustavsson in his book Rosor for nordiska tradgardar (only in Swedish)? From the photos on this site those roses look similar to me also.
This question arose when I tried to identify a Gallica that I received as a gift. I settled for Aimable Amie at the time.

'Aimable Amie' differs from 'Belle Sans Flatterie' in that it tends to reach five feet in height and has a strong fragrance, while 'Belle Sans Flatterie' reaches only about three feet and has only a light scent. (I know that doesn't answer your question about 'Louis van Tyll', which also has a strong scent.)

Hello! I live in Boston, Massachusetts, zone 7A. I have walked by this gorgeous rose bush many times on my way to the library, with tiny pink blooms that seem to fade to a lighter pink over time. Please help me figure out what the name of this looming rose bush is. It looks like a polyantha, and I thought it was the fairy, but the petals on this mystery rose are more pointed looking than The Fairy's. Thank you for anyone who can help!

Can you tell us about repeat bloom, if any? The picture looks like a rambler. Someone who knows the ramblers better than me might be able to ID the group of ramblers, Wicherana, multiflora for example, to which it might belong. There are two lost, almost certainly extinct, alas, Ayrshire ramblers from the early 20thC, which were bred in Boston, but what I could see of the leaves didn't look like an Ayrshire.

My Meredith is covered in rust constantly. Super prone but not listed anywhere. I like to see when health has a lesser rating than excellent, what they are prone to

Thanks for this. Rust resistance is something I've been trying to breed for.
Do you grow Easy Spirit by chance?

I don’t grow easy spirit. I do have a huge collection of roses and I will say Meredith is one of if not the worst offender. She is grafted on Huey which could be part of the issue

Rootstock shouldn't be an issue.
Sometimes an offspring is better than it's parent. I've been using Easy Spirit a s bit but I may have to rethink that.
Thankfully I never grew Meredith.
Thanks for your input.
