I am growing La Biche (from Roses Unlimited) and comparing them to Mlle. de Sombreuil from Sangerhausan and Tete D'Or (not Sombrieuil climbing) which I have and they are not the same. The La Biche is definately a Noisette growing in excess to 8 ft with cluster flowers so I will continue calling it La Biche

This is interesting! We are comparing Mlle de Sombreuil (ex La Biche) from Vintage Gardens with Mlle de Sombreuil from Sangerhausen and also believe they are not the same. Can you post pictures of your Sombreuils from Sangerhausen and Tete d'Or, including some botanical details? We will do the same.

Do you know whether there are records of the provenance of roses currently growing in the important European collections, or whether anyone is working on this?

I am try to find an original 'La Biche'. I believe one of these was planted on my family farm in Ky in the 1800's. Do you have any to see?

I am looking for the real La Biche rose. Not the American Mme de Sombreiul. I think this is the rose planted on my family farm in the 1800's. Sadly it died about 4 yrs ago. My gggrandfather planted this for his wife who was dying. Can any one help me find it? Thank you.
