Général Donadieu
Before 1842. Source: Van Houtte, catal. 1842 and following. Commerce: no. Collection: L'Haÿ
This variety is dedicated to General Donadieu (born 1777), very much against Bonaparte, entirely following the Bourbons whom he served to excess after 1815....Unfortunately, we have not found mention of this variety except in the catalogue of Van Houtte of 1842.
We are citing this variety 'General Donadieu' (without description) as it is supposed to figure in the collection of the Roseraie de L'Haÿ. In fact, the specimen which is there makes a crimson-red bloom, shaded violet and violetish white, while Gravereaux in his personal Catalogue 1902 (no. 7344), as well as Simon and Cochet in their Nomenclature (no. 4193) state "flesh-pink": it is thus not impossible that this variety is extinct.
