The classic volume still seems to be:

Rose Recipes from Olden Times
Eleanour Sinclair Rohde.
Originally published 1939.
Dover paperback $3.95
ISBN: 0486229572
Page Count:  95
 Includes original recipes for potpourris
and pomanders, perfumes and sweet waters,
 and culinary recipes like
conserves (both petals and hips),
 sauce eglantine, rossoly, rose jelly,
rose hip marmalade, rose hip tarts,
 pickled rosebuds, rose and fruit salad,
and more. 83 recipes.
You might see what varieties she mentioned and check them against and
heirloom list. If they haven't messed with the rose variety in the past
60 years, this might work.
