Notes:
The earliest mention of 'Bizard triomphant' is in the 1786 catalogue of Gottlob Börner from Dresden, Germany, "bizard" being a term applied to tulips with streaked petals. This term seems to have mutated to "bizarre" in later French publications. Pépinières Loubert's 2002 Catalogue says this rose came from Holland pre-1700. The 2004 catalogue lists 'Bizarre triomphant' as originating before 1811 and a separate 'Charles de Mills' before 1885. The 1844/45 Van Houtte catalogue contains the first known mention of 'Charles de Mils'. There is no substantion for the date of 1746. A Charles Mills was Director of the East India Company, elected 1785. scattered second blooms in a hot period (July 22, 2018)
