'Rhodologue Jules Gravereaux' rose Reviews & Comments

Taking it at face value, the 1935 quote from Les Amis des Roses appears to regard 'Rhodologue Gravereaux' and 'Rosomane Gravereaux' as two different roses. If they are, perhaps they were siblings.

Hillary Merrifield recently came across another reference to this rose in Les Plus Belles Roses au Début du XXe Siècle, under the name 'Rosomane Jules Gravereaux'.
The entry is as follows:
1st column
Rosomane Jules Gravereaux
Mlle Marie Van Houtte x Madame Abel Chatenay
2nd column
Docteur Joaquin Fontes 1908
3rd column [English translation]
Lilacy pink on exterior, bright pink on the inside. Flowers large, very full, in quarters; very floriferous, very vigorous. Good cut flower.
As the breeder, date of introduction and parentage are the same as 'Rhodologue Jules Gravereaux', it seems likely that this is a syn of the same rose.
I have added the entry to References - are you happy for the name 'Rosomane Jules Gravereaux' to be listed as a synonym?

I am. A reference like this is worth its weight in gold. One might be looking in indexes under Rh.... and overlook any Ro....'s. I've added the synonym as 'Rosomane Jules Gravereaux (Tea, Fontes, 1908) to make it clear it was not the 1899 white HT from Soupert & Notting.
