(1845) Page(s) 118. A Selection of Varieties. Six Very Late Roses. 3. Baronne Prevost, a hybrid perpetual; colour, bright rosy blush, flowers fragrant, very large and double, opening freely, habit of the plant singularly robust; a magnificent rose.

Boula de Manteuil, a variety of Rosa Gallica; now a very popular rose, and deservedly so; colour, crimson purple; flowers very large and double, cupped when first open, afterwards the centre of the flower rises and it partially loses its cupped form.
(1845) Page(s) 115. A Selection of Varieties. Six of the Largest Roses. 5. Brennus, a well-known hybrid China rose; colour, bright red, flowers very large and generally well shaped; they open well in all seasons.

(1845) Page(s) 116. A Selection of Varieties. Six of the Most Vigorous-growing Roses, which will form, when budded on stout stocks, large umbrageous trees, either as half or whole standards, for conspicuous situations, are: 3. Charles Duval, a hybrid Bourbon, and deservedly popular; colour, bright rose; flowers finely cupped; very large and double.

Six of the Most Vigorous-growing Roses, which will form, when budded on stout stocks, large umbrageous trees, either as half or whole standards, for conspicuous situations, are: 6. Chenédolé, which equals any of the above [Great Western, Hortensia, Charles Duval, Paul Perras, Elise Mercœur] in vigour, is described among the six largest roses [as] a hybrid China rose, of most vigorous habit; colour, bright vivid crimson; flowers, like those of Brennus, rather flat, or saucer-shaped; petals very broad; they open freely in all seasons.
