Thomas Rivers
Augustine Lelieur is a charming rose, a true Bourbon, so vivid and so beautiful that it cannot be too much recommended: its flowers are very erect, and bell-shaped, and as fine in October as in June. Centifolia is a rose equally fine, but quite different in colour, which is delicately pale, something like the old Celestial Rose: its flowers are more double than those of Augustine Lelieur, and quite pendulous from their weight; also a true Bourbon.

Augustine Lelieur, possesses considerable fragrance, is of a rosy-purple colour, full, round, well formed, and is a strong grower, but does not open well in the early part of the season.

Augustine Lelieur is a well formed rosy crimson flower; the plant vigorous, but it has been superseded by finer varieties.

Rose Catalogues (From “The Gardeners’ Chronicle,” Oct. 19th, 1844, p. 701)
I have just gathered a flower of Bourbon Augustine Lelieur, which measures fully four inches across; but the colour is so different that, had I not gathered it myself, I should have had some difficulty in naming it. Without multiplying solitary instances, if we view the whole body of Roses that bloom twice in the year, and compare the colours noted down in the Summer with their real appearance at this season, we shall find a difference.
