'Emilie Toutain' rose Reviews & Comments

I'm not sure this rose was bred by Frau Von Hepp, and if she ever raised a single rose from seed. She was just a garden enthusiast in her city of Nürnberg and was growing many kind of ornamental plants.
The source : Von Reider, Annalen der Blumisterei, 1825, pp.83-84, doesn't say at all she was the breeder of this rose.
I also think that there is a mispelling in this source, it may have been 'Tigridia' instead of 'Tigrina', thus 'Tigridia' was a rose bred by Toutain (of Le Mans, France), before 1824. This was a gallica-damask, purple-red with dots (marbled, mottled or stripped : "ponctué" in french).
On HMF, there is also the same mistake for this lady, with a so called "Querin" rose... La rose Guérin!

Your comments are very welcome. The article in Annalen der Blumisterei had a number of spelling mistakes and I agree with your very educated guesses. Both 'Querin' and 'Rosa tigrina' have been meged to their proper place, and the synonyms relegated to "Hidden" names.
Justine von Hepp's garden seems to have been famous in the 1820s. We added some notes despite that she is no longer a breeder.
