Yes, that's indeed what they're saying. And, when one goes through looks at the various literature (not necessarily here) about 'Esther Pradel' (or 'Estelle Pradel') over the decades, one indeed finds as time goes on a series of them (descriptions) describing a pure white vigorous, even rampant, one, which is obviously distinct from those about the chamois tinted dwarf original 'Esther Pradel'. How this came to be is mysterious (but mystery is our everyday provender in Old Roses).
