I have the names of a few varieties, but was wondering if anyone has seen them in person... Emperor of Russia Grandiflora Rosea Price Eugene Napoleon Rosehill Red Did I miss any that I should be considering?

(4-5") intensely red!, loose fully double flowers on a background of glossy drk-grn foliage make this upright 8-12' shrub a real showcase late winter into spring.
