Barbara Tchertoff. Antoine Jacques - Head Gardener to Louis-Philippe.
Adélaide d’Orléans (Jacques, 1826). Award of Garden Merit. Professor Jay’s genetic analyses prove that this rambler is a sempervirens hybrid, with ‘Old Blush’ as a partner. It is not yet possible to say which is the dominant partner. This is a vigorous, elegant and attractive rose with small to medium-sized flowers, double, cupped, pink on opening , which flatten into rosettes and become white, showing their stamens. The buds are bright pink. The leaves resist a mild winter. Summer flowering. Height 4.5m x 3m (14ft x 9ft) (Jacques gives no detailed description of this rose and this is a modern description)....

Peter Cox. Roses in Australia. There is another good sized rose originating from that area of Victoria, (south of the Dandenong Ranges and to the east of Melbourne), named ‘Allen Brundrett’. It was introduced by S. Brundrett and Sons who have grown roses at Narre Warren for over 100 years. The flower is a very dark red hybrid tea with a lighter centre. It is an impressive 13.5cm (5.5in) across with over 50 petals !

p2. Robert Calkin. The Myrrh Fragrance in Roses.
....It is also characteristic of such delightfully scented old roses as the Ayrshire 'Splendens' (the Myrrh-scented rose) and the Alba hybrid Belle Amour

p3. ....the myrrh fragrance also occurs in Belle Amour, a rediscovered rose classsified sometimes as an Alba and sometimes as a damask. Graham Stuart Thomas suggests also the influence of 'Splendens', not only because of the fragrance but because of its similarity in colour, with its hint of salmon almost unique among old roses. Almost the same colour, though not the fragrance, occurs in the gallica 'Belle Isis', from which many of David Austin's English roses are descended. Many of these have a myrrh fragrance. Whether the myrrh fragrance is in every case descended from the original Ayrshire roses or whether it has appeared spontaneously on a number of separate occasions is a matter of speculation. Within the English roses, however, there is no doubt of its descent from 'Constance Spry', the first of such roses, and which resulted from a cross between 'Belle Isis' and 'Dainty Maid'.

Usually known as ‘Bleu Magenta’, this rose is thought to be ‘Mme. E. Rocques’ (Lottin, 1900).

p4. Photo. One of the outstanding lost roses refound in Normandy was ‘Chenedollé’ which may have been named for the village of that name or for the poet Charles Julien Lioult de Chenedollé (1769-1833), who came of a noble family in the Vire (Calvados) region. Photo: Charles Quest-Ritson.

p4. Daniel Lemonnier. ….I had another surprise thanks to Mrs. Gwen Fagan, from the Cape of Good Hope, when she gave a presentation of the roses of her garden at the 7th heritage Rose conference in Cambridge, England. Among them was ‘Chenedollé’ (1840), a Hybrid China lost in Europe, and that I knew to have been raised by Thierry of Caen. It is a vigorous bush described by Rivers in his Rose Amateur’s Guide (1846) as an admirable rose that cannot be too widely cultivated. I agree.

p17 Charles Quest-Ritson ….in Normandy, where the Historic Roses Group will be running a tour in June. …..Old Norman roses that we shall see during the tour include… and bright pink ‘Chenedollé’ [Thierry, 1848] both identified and preserved in two gardens that we shall visit.

Deane M. Ross. Mlle. Cecile Brunner and Her Entourage.
....Gathered around Cécile Brunner like an entourage is a cluster of variations and look-alikes often confusing to the newcomer to the world of heritage roses.  The first, and possibly the next most popular form, is the climber. Unlike the 1 metre high bush form, the Climbing Cécile Brunner is very vigorous and densely clothed, reaching 5 or 6 metres across and far higher than you can reach. Its spring display is spectacular, but thereafter it scarcely bears any blooms. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile when space is plentiful.

Martyn Rix. China Roses.
'Mme. Laurette Messimy' (1887) and 'Comtesse du Cayla'' raised by Guillot in 1902, share the same parentage, said to be ('Rival de Paestum' x 'Mme. Falcot') x 'Mme. Falcot'.  This makes them two thirds Tea and a third an unusual pale China.  'Rival de Paestum' is a small, almost white rose, often classed as a Tea, so by parentage both should perhaps be classed Teas.  In Comtesse du Cayla the leaves are bronzy, the flowers coppery orange and pink, reddening as they age, especially in full sun. Its scent is also reported to be good, not usually a characteristic of Chinas; the flowers are semi-double and open rather flat. Mme Laurette Messimy is paler, pinkish with yellow centre, and loose, quilled petals.

Peter Harkness. The Hybrid Musks. Part 1.
There was confusion in Pemberton's own mind, for he described Danae, 'Moonlight' and others as Hybrid teas for some years after everyone else had decided to call them Hybrid Musks. He is said to have adopted the term Hybrid Musk in 1919....
