‘Du Luxembourg’ (Hardy, 1820 or before). We see many roses from Hardy proclaiming their place of origin, the Luxembourg Palace in Paris. This Hybrid China was described by Noisette as “Flowers pretty, very double, having the form of Ranunculus, petals in a spiral, of a charming violet color.” Prévost fils adds, “Ovary glabrous, short, oval-pyriform. Flower small, full, regular, purple red with edges brown-purple or deep violet.” Hardy was to release what were presumably improvements on this Ranunculus-shaped hybrid a few years later, a ‘Renoncule Violette’ in 1824, and a ‘Renoncule Brune’ by 1828 - both Hybrid Chinas again.

[Jean-Pierre Vibert wrote in 1824] many of our [rose] names are somewhat redolent of the Thousand and One Nights. We have the 'Berceau d'Amour', the 'Temple d'Apollon', the 'Ceinture de Vénus', etc. Ancient Rome has indeed added something to our nomenclature, and we would have been menaced by the 'Sénat Romain' but for the good fortune of having discovered that this rose was the same as the 'Duc de Guiche'.
