[From Lyon Horticole, 1954, p. 53:] Grande fut notre surprise d'apprendre le décès de M. Joseph CHABERT , Officier d'Académie . M. Chabert , Directeur d'école de garçons à Givors , aidé des conseils de M. Charles Mallerin , se passionnait dans la recherche de roses nouvelles et avait obtenu des nouveautés qui lui valurent aux divers concours de roses nouvelles , notamment en 1954 , de nombreux succès en France et à l'Etranger .

Not only in the academic world did his name begin to be known but amongst rosarians as well. One day Georges Delbard paid him a visit and found amongst his seedlings an orange - red polyantha of unusual colouring and a velvet red hybrid tea . Later these were put on the market as ' Souvenir de Joseph Chabert ' , 1956, ('Français' x unnamed seedling) and 'Maurice Chevalier', 1959, ('Incendie' x ('Floradora' seedling x 'Independence')). Delbard was so impressed by what he sawthat, on the shake of a hand, he made an agreement whereby he would propagate all the Chabert seedlings. André , Joseph's son , was to join the firm and Joseph himself would do so on his retirement from schoolmastering . Unfortunately , Joseph Chabert died suddenly , shortly after this agreement had been concluded , but André was immediately installed at Evry , where Georges Delbard had fifteen acres of land adjoining the great farm formerly in the possession of the Duc d'Antin , and later belonging to Madame de Montespan , the favourite of Louis XIV .
