These photos show a potpourri of reproduction Open Rose and Lustre Rose pieces. Top left are bowls in teal (7 3/4 inch) made by Smith and an Imperial (LIG) cobalt (6 1/2 inch) in the shape of a fernery. Top right is a blue three-piece table set (the only way the new sets come) marked ALIG. Bottom left is an Open Rose three-in-one edged bowl in marigold on moonstone. It is believed that this was a prototype made for Sears Roebuck and ultimately rejected by them. The small whimsies were purchased at Imperial's company store. Imperial's molds have passed through many hands and new versions and colors are still being made.
Ferneries were reissued by Imperial in cobalt (Aurora Jewels), white, pink, and Meadow Green. The white example at the left sold on eBay in 2003 for $40. Others that sold on ebay in 2003 included one in blue ($36), one in marigold ($20), one in purple ($13). These latter colors are probably more recent examples not made by Imperial.

Bowls are the most frequently seen pieces in this pattern. They are found in a variety of edge treatments, colors, and makers. Most sell for $15 to $25 on eBay.

Table set pieces (butter dish, sugar bowl, creamer) are found in a variety of colors, some made by Imperial, some more recently. Regardless of color, they sell in the $15 to $25 range on eBay.

Large Plates, about 10 1/2 inches, were reissued by Imperial in marigold (Rubigold), smoke (Peacock), and pink. Smoke examples like that at the left sell on eBay for $40 to $50.
In 2006, Michael Samuels sent me this photo of his Imperial Rose bowl in marigold on milk glass (not moonstone). Quite unusual.
