I seem to be missing something. 'Belle de Bordeaux' is described as white with lilac reverse. 'Enfant trouvé' is yellow, like 'Augusta'.

I am missing the same thing, but it seems Leon Chenault in 1898 was the first to call the pink, Enfant Trouve.
It seems the yellow Introduced by Cant was a foundling and I think we should add the double quotes to “Enfant Trouve”. It apparently was not ‘Aurora’, but may be
Elisa Sauvage’ 1838 or
‘Augusta’ syn Solfatare’ 1843
From my screen it seems the 1898, 1899, 1936 and 1994 references should be moved out and into Lartay’s pink ‘Belle de Bordeaux’ 1861 file. At this stage I have no idea what Bernède had to do with it.

The references for the pink rose are moved to 'Enfant Trouvé (syn. 'Belle de Bordeaux'). I believe Léon Chénault was in error in 1898 when citing this synonym.
Regarding Bernède, there is an article in Journal des Roses of 1883 mentioning that 'Belle de Bordeaux' was bred by him in 1852. Later we have 'Gloire de Bordeaux' by Lartay in 1861. Joseph Schwartz says in 1882 that BdB was rebaptised as GdB. Possibly. Lartay was apparently not a great breeder of Teas. We need more Information on both breeders to make a judgment.

Could this have been 'Augusta' rather than 'Aurora'. The illustration shows the terminal leaflet with a pair of small "stipules", which is an unusual trait found on 'Augusta'.

re: Augusta
The roses bloom at the termination of the first growth of the winter buds, and were in clusters of three and four upon the branches sent me. I send you one of the largest leaves upon this season's growth; the terminal leaves [leaflets] all have two small leaves (or stipules) at the base, which neither Lamarque, Solfaterre nor Chromatella possesses.
Cant carried 'Augusta' in 1855. Could he have forgotten it so soon? (He did, of course, forget 'Aurora'.)
