'Manetti' rose Reviews & Comments

The reference from Gardener's Monthly, given here as 1876, "Referring to the origin of the Manetti Rose," was puzzling, as it refers to "a recent issue of the Journal des Roses," which didn't commence publication until 1877 (an earlier Journal des Roses was published 1854-1859). The quote is actually from p. 165 of the 1882 Gardener's Monthly.

Just a side note: High Country Roses has Mae Fair Pink listed as a Shrub (found rose Fairmont Cemetery Denver).
Website says: “Mae Fair Pink”, is another of the fantastic roses found in Denver’s Fairmount Cemetery. Mae Fair, who passed away in 1904 at the age of 24, is a truly appropriate namesake for this lovely rose. Forming a shapely upright shrub of five feet tall, Mae Fair Pink is adorned with 2 inch semi-double blooms with a light scent.

According to John Starnes' blog, this found rose was later reidentified as the cultivar 'Manettii' (suggesting it was originally the rootstock of another variety).
