Dedicated to Jeanne-Louise Marie Sisley (a.k.a. Jean Bach-Sisley) (August 5, 1864 Lyon - 1949 Saint-Symphorien-d'Ozon), poetess, great granddaughter of Dutch horticularist Jean Sisley (1778-1852), granddaughter of the breeder Jean Sisley (1804-1891).

In the USA this rose is also in commerce under the name of "Creekside Manor Tea."
From the Vintage Garden website:
"Deep pink scrolled buds open to wide coronets of clear pink creased petals. Foliage is dark, handsome and very fine. This treads the line between Tea and China but whatever you call it, it is a superior shrub for the garden. Mrs. Keays grew a foundling she called “Creekside Manor” which is identical to what we received from the Huntington as Jean-Bach Sisley. She considered this the best candidate for the real Souvenir d’un Ami, a possibility worth re-investigating. What is currently offered under that name is clearly at odds with early descriptions and illustrations."
Darrell g.h. Schramm writes: "Jean Bach Sisley (1864-1949) was the pen name of Jeanne Louise Marie Sisley. A poet, a novelist, a non-fiction writer, and the founder and host of the Lyon Poets Salon, she was well known in Lyon and throughout France. She edited an anthology of Lyon poets she wrote numerous books..."
