Souvenir d'un ami ...Open bloom and bud, said to have been bred by an unknown amateur, commercialized 1846 by the French breeder Bellot de Fougère in 1846. This rose has the curious misfortune to be confused with quite a number of different varieties, with which she is however absolutely not identical.
a) Queen Victoria, whose breeder and year of introduction could not be ascertained, is more yellow, although very similar in form.
b) Adam, breeder Adam 1838.
c) Président, from the english breeder Paul & Son 1860.
She is somewhat similar in colour to the last two named sorts, but very different in form and growth. The colour is pure pink, most beautiful flat cup form, blooms nodding on long stems, also an excellent forcing rose.
