[From
The Makers of Heavenly Roses, by Jack Harkness, pp. 121-122:] Francis Dubreuil was a tailor, who had been tempted away from his trade by roses... Francis had married Marie, daughter of Joseph Rambaux, who was a gardener at the Parc de la Tete d'Or... [
after Rambaux died,] Francis Dubreuil introduced old Joseph's new roses, one of which was the enchanting little
'Perle d'Or', a China rose with light pink and yellow blooms on a miniature scale.
