Book (1981) Page(s) 111. [From the article "Italian Rose Breeders" by Stelvio Coggiatti:] In 1829, a Catalogue descriptif was published in France of the roses grown by Prevert fils at Rouen. In the section dedicated to the Bengal roses, the catalogue describes two varieties 'Belle de Monza' and 'Bella Villoresi', indicating as the raiser the nurseryman Vibert of Saint-Denis [actually it indicates only the name by which the rose was called in the nursery of Vibert]. But the name of 'Bella Villoresi' establishes the identity of the true raiser; and as regards 'Belle de Monza', convincing proof points also to Luigi Villoresi, who was director of the Monza Royal Garden from 1812 to 1825....
