Senateur Potié
Friera describes in his book only the colour (apricot) and the form (semi-double). Its breeder, Pere Dot, used as parents Mme Butterfly, a sport of the beautiful Ophelia of Paul, and Carita MacMahon, a creation of Dot doomed to oblivion. It is an obtention of 1937, a time not very suitable for gardening pleasures [Civil War]...The rose is named after the French senator August Potié (1858-1939). According to the website of the Gallic senate, the senator was a landowner.

‘Senateur Potie’. HT. Yellow. (Dot ’37) ARA ’38; PP ’41-’43. Raymond, Ont. (4 pl., 3 yr.); Beautiful plant that grows well, but I cannot keep away the black-spot so out it goes. Anderson, Va.

Packard, Cal.: For the discard; the flowers fly apart; not enough petals and no shape.
