Yes, I made the remark to another also. If you read the "References" section on 'Mme Souchet' and 'Césarine Souchet' here in HMF you can see the differences. The former is described as pale pink with lacquer-red edges, the latter as pale pink only. A mix-up in name where A "Madame" gets added or replaces at "Mademoiselle", even a "Monsieur" is not unusual. It is quite possible that Ashdown first acquired their rose from a public garden as 'Madame Souchet'. Unfortunately, there are many labeling errors even in the most famous rosaries. Here I was just pointing out the discrepancy between the pictures and the description.
