Notes:
In September 1998, the Montreal Botanical Garden (Le Jardin Botanique de Montreal) carried out a survey of its roses' resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust. This is one of the outstanding varieties which showed a 0% to 5% infection rate. The data was taken on well-established roses.
Jehan-Georges Vibert (1840-1902), grandson of rose breeder Jean-Pierre Vibert, was a French artist and dramatist.
