Australia now has a handful of plants from a (presumed) reversion of Mme Driout.

How do these compare with what we have as RMH?

I've given my plants to big collections, but I don't think it matches the photos from Doue la Fontaine or the Jardin a l'Aube. Probably not Sakura either. Can't be sure about the Fineschi photos - too far away.
It's not a dark red.
Looking back at my other photos of this plant of Mme Driout, the leaves aren't usually as rounded as they appear in this photo.

Yes, it does not fit to "rouge cerise". Not a reversion, but a new sport, I believe.

We had wondered about that. Potting mixes can alter colours, of course, so it will be interesting to see what it does in the ground.
I'll have to think of a name for it.

Dear All,
Reine Marie Henriette looks like a great rose. Is there a reason it gets little publicity?
I cannot spray + live in hot, humid 7a. Are there problems, esp. Black Spot or Mildew,
that would keep this rose from doing well here?
Thank you.

Looking at the photos, I'm wondering if two different roses are pictured. I haven't grown RMH, but my memory of it is of a loose floppy rose, not the shapely upright HT in the Jardin de l'Aube photos. Its sport, Mme Driout, doesn't have that high-centred-shape bud either.
Interesting that early references about RMH mention few prickles, but 'Botanica's Roses' mentions its "considerable prickliness". Mme Driout is described as rather thorny in the Quest-Ritson 'Encyclopedia of Roses'.
Mme Driout was much healthier in my garden than the Quest-Ritson description, but I'm in zone 9b, with dry summers.
Later edit: the Reine Marie Henriette here I was comparing it with was incorrect (it was Noella Nabonnand).

Thank you. Charles Quest-Ritson, in Climbing Roses of the World, says this rose is susceptible to Black Spot, Mildew, + Rust, + that its petals may damp off in wet weather. He recommends it for warm, dry climates ("extremely attractive when it flowers well").
He also says MMe Driout is identical in every respect, except for her petal stripes. Maybe this will get untangled in a drier place.
The Jardin a l'aube red rose looks nice, too--wonder what it is.

It's looking as if what we have at Ruston's (South Australia) as Reine Marie Henriette may be what we and others grow as Noella Nabonnand. It was imported from the Beales nursery some decades ago.

The rose from ’ Jardins... seems to be too modern, to be an early ht, coming from G J .... . It seems very wrong to me ,in every aspect

"Queen Marie," as I usually refer to her among friends, is a triploid with 21 chromosomes. Triploids as a rule are sterile, but not always. "Queen Marie" in particular will set a few hips every year. They fall off early and so must be harvested early. The few seedlings I have grown were everbloomers, but I made no sustained effort in this direction.

Thank you. The plot thickens.
