Rosa ‘Général Castellane’
Hybrid Perpetual. In The Gardeners’ Chronicle of 1855 it was described as a newer Hybrid Perpetual, with brilliant velvety crimson flowers, and a profuse late bloomer, not a very robust grower and of somewhat dwarf habit. Elsewhere it was described as somewhat after ‘Lord Raglan’ in type, very fine and perfect in all aspects. It was considered moderately resistant to mildew but required good soils to flourish. [Rivers 1857, Paul 1863, FC p.61/1855].
Horticultural & Botanical History
‘Général Castellane’ was included in William Paul’s ‘best twelve’ at the beginning of the Wars of the Roses. [Gard. chron. 1856].
History at Camden Park
Included in a handwritten list of roses dated 1861, probably intended for a new edition of the catalogue that was never printed. [MP A2943].

NEW ROSES.
Mr. Paul, of Cheshunt, sent thirty kinds of new Roses in No. 16 pots, very nice plants, with two, three, to half-a-dozen flowers on each, besides flower buds. The following are what I would choose, and the order of the selection. Of Hybrid Perpetuals, Prince Leon, like a dark red La Reine; General Castellane, crimson ; Barone de Kermont, rose; Helen (Paul's), like an old blush Province Rose ; Comte d'Nanteuil, like a blush Pæony; Jules Margottin, a good red rose; Leon Plee, a blush; Louise Odier, a large trusser, rose; Madame Hector Jacquin, rose, or like Camellia elegans ; Madame Duchere, a light blush-rose; Prince Albert (Paul), a Bourbon Rose of the highest colour, and seems a strong grower; and Duchess of Norfolk, not so double or so dark as it was exhibited last year by Mr. Wood, of Maresfield.
