Old fashion rose


Question
My 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.

Answer
I 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.
