Pat - is this your foundling from Mr. Heath? Or is it from David Ruston’s original plant?

Hi Patricia.
I have Pechtold's Flame written with question marks on the planting plan of Mr Heath's roses. Too hot today but tomorrow I will visit this garden again. No unfortunately I did not get the cuttings from David's plant which was:
Pechtold's Flame (Rare) 9 91,92 House Garden : Lawn Walk : South Side: Row 09 : Row 3 (H. Verschuren-Pechtold, 1953) HT Red
So that tells us that it would be gone now.

So your 2015 photographed rose came from Mr. Heath? Is the provenance then
Mr. Heath-> David Ruston-> Pat Toolan. or
Mr Heath-> Pat Toolan.
You have “ Budwood sourced from Ruston Roses” on your photos.

Patricia I just searched out the photos which are on helpmefind in my Pictures folder for 25.1.2015 and I noticed the pot in one of them and on checking the pot the tag it says Pechtold's Flame. So if I wrote back then in 2015 the budwood was sourced from Ruston Roses then it was and Arhur Christou must have budded them for us. Forget Mr Heath for now as I may have thought that one of his roses might have been the same.

I have no doubt that David Ruston knew this rose well. He grew (see 1959-106 ref) and exhibited (see 1967 ref) 'Pechtold's Flame'.
As an aside, 'Tzigane' has a yellow reverse. Your photos of 'Pechtold's Flame' appears to have yellow only in the depths.
