Possible identifications yet to be considered
Discarded identifications
‘Capitaine Christy’. Too many gardens growing both roses for this to be considered (Brooklyn, Cartwright, Cranford, Red Rose Ridge, and The Friends of Vintage)
‘Hovyn de Tronchère’ Does not match historical descriptions.
‘Lady Alice Stanley’. Seems to have a deeper center and Peter Beales grew both roses.
‘Mrs. Wakefield Christie-Miller’. Has a much deeper reverse.
