Flowers

I know there are a few places that do this type of rose….
I have grown a couple before, but the flowers were pretty small.

Are there any that produce larger flowers (larger than say, three inches)

Any suggestions appreciated
Thanks

Here are some Austin roses that have large blooms:

Evelyn
Bishop’s Castle
Golden Celebration
Falstaff
Eglantyne
Charles Darwin
James Galway
