Sorry to see that none of our knowledgeable North American rose friends has chimed in here so far. However, I now have confirmation from Sangerhausen: The rose 'Langford' had been listed wrongly for quite some time as 'Longford' (most possibly due to a typo). The wrong classification as Hybrid Helena is possibly in connection with a mistake in the 1970 edition of the printed Sangerhausen rose directory. Both plants grown at Sangerhausen are consistent with the description of the Hybrid Setigera named 'Langford'.

Yes, the information from Sangerhausen is correct and the "Longford" reference should be merged with "Langford". The rose was lost in Canada and only recently has been imported from Sangerhausen and is now grown in the Montreal Botanic Garden in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Thank you, Margit. It is good to hear that 'Langford' is grown again in Canada and this is one more instance for the importance of a rose collection like the Europa Rosarium Sangerhausen.

Merged. I think it is all correct now.

This rose is somewhat of a mystery. I haven't been able so far to find any reference for 'Longford' in the Canadian sources available to me. Mr. Quest-Ritson apparently saw it at Sangerhausen (Climbing Roses of the World, 2003, page 27). Oddly, the current rose directory (Rosenverzeichnis Rosarium Sangerhausen, 9th edition, 2011) mentions only 'Langford' (Hybrid Setigera) for the locations D:129/1 and D:129/2 and there is no entry for 'Longford' at all.
I'd be grateful for anyone who can shed some light on this.
