A velvet rose: President Tarradellas ...(Marino Dot, 1978) is a hybrid tea, of medium height, but well rounded. The foliage is not too dark, and has fairly good health. ...it is rarely without a bloom in the bush. It is the only rose I know of burgundy colour. Not your typical velvet, with even warmer tones. The bud is almost black until it begins to expand....But what would be a red rose without scent? This rose has it, in abundance. It is a fragrance which reminds very much of Papa Meilland.

Peach, apricot: Ramón Bach of Dot
...Friera tells us on Ram´n Bach (P. Dot, 1938): 1938 Luis de Briãs x Condesa de Sástago. Beautiful rose of 80 petals, light apricot yellow, very fragrant, attractive form, lasting. Healthy and floriferous shrub.....Petals are strong, multitoned, ruffled. Has a tea fragrance, somewhat fruity, fresh and pleasant, reminiscent of Mme. A. Meilland, but more intense.
...Pere and Ramón Bach were brothers, entrepreneurs in the textile sector, paricularly in cotton. They bought a farm in 1915, Can Estrada, in order to grow good wine in the Penedés area....Ramón died in the Civil War. Considering the year of obtention, 1938, I suspect the rose was a gift in memoriam by his friend Pere Dot.

Dot Roses: Nácar or Sant Feliu de Llobregat
....Rosa Dot...as a descendant of Mme. A. Meilland, has an upright and robust habit, which easily ewxceeds one and a half meters in height. Its blooms are large, solitary, high-centres, with a noticeable fragrance, sweet in my opinion, with 40 slightly reflexed petals. It is repeat-flowering and has excellent health.

San Valentin...deep pink buds which will lighten to almost white in the last moments, passing through a very delicate tone that the camera refuses to mirror...smells slightly, very slightly of myrrh...healthy, some signs of powdery mildew...

Senateur Potié
Friera describes in his book only the colour (apricot) and the form (semi-double). Its breeder, Pere Dot, used as parents Mme Butterfly, a sport of the beautiful Ophelia of Paul, and Carita MacMahon, a creation of Dot doomed to oblivion. It is an obtention of 1937, a time not very suitable for gardening pleasures [Civil War]...The rose is named after the French senator August Potié (1858-1939). According to the website of the Gallic senate, the senator was a landowner.

...Friera comments to us on Tánger (Dot, 1949):
Condesa de sastago x Peace. Vigorous rose with strong upright stems. Very large bloom of 60 petals, strongly fragrant; crimson-red and yellow inside, which passes to silver on the reverse. Abundant and healthy foliage.
....Differences in the colour of the reverse is obvious: while in the garden of ....it has assumed yellow tones, mine has not... Soil and climate differences, bring out in different and varied ways the genetics of this rose...
Blooms usually apeear in clusters of three or four, and are very large in size. It seems to resist well the sun, and...is noteworthy that rain does not affect it. I do not feel a special scent, noting only a light and fresh note.
