"Roses and the frost at Stamford" by Charles Laxton
During the nights of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of January my thermometer registered here, in a walled garden at five feet from the ground, and in the open, 23°, 21°, 22°, and 22° of frost respectively... The snow here froze on the branches, and was three inches deep on the ground.... My list of uninjured (No. 1) may therefore be relied upon as containing only thoroughly hardy sorts.

The Hybrid Perpetual Rose.
Carmine and Cherry-coloured.
Madame Heraud, Madame Furtado — a perfect pattern of elegance in shape — Charles Margottin, Beauty of Waltham, John Hopper, Madame Victor Verdier, Madame Boutin, Duchesse de Caylus, Denis Helye, and Victor Verdier, are the 'crême de la crême' of this group, and no roses can be more charming; they all, or nearly all, have an intensity of rose colour, if the expression may be used, which is of all colours the most pleasing; for do we not say 'the rosy morn,' the rosy hues of life, and employ many other expressions, all denoting the invariable charm of this most delightful of all tints?

Rosiers hybrides remontants qui ont été mis au commerce depuis plusieurs années, mais qui sont cependant encore récents ou peu répandus.
Madame Victor Verdier (Eugène Verdier, fils aîné, de Paris). — Arbuste vigoureux et florifère; fleurs larges, très-pleines, cupuliformes profondes, parfaites, rouge pourpré velouté très-vif, odeur suave. Magnifique Rose.

Translation: Floriculture Review by Mr. Rouillard.
Hybrid perpetual roses that have been in commerce for several years, but are nevertheless still recent and not widespread.
Madame Victor Verdier (Eugène Verdier fils aîné, of Paris). — A vigorous and floriferous shrub; large, very full flowers are deeply cupped and perfect in form, a very vivid and velvety purplish red and sweetly scented. A magnificent rose.

Roses in 1864.
Madame Victor Verdier has been shown in superb condition, the colour a clear, lively, rosy crimson, likely, we think, to rank equal with King's Acre and Maréchal Suchet...

New Roses.
...And now for the Hybrid Perpetuals.  We will take them according to the raisers.
Eugène Verdier, fils ainé.
9.   Claude Mellon [sic], beautiful scarlet.
10.  George Paul, beautiful lively red.
11.  George Prince, dazzling red; reverse of petals whitish.
12.  H. Laurentius, beautiful crimson red, cupped.
13.  John Nasmith [sic], lively crimson red, veined with purple and violet.
14.  Joseph Fiola [sic], lively velvety red.
15.  La Duchesse de Morny, beautiful tender rose; reverse of petals silvery rose.
16.  Madame Victor Verdier, bright cherry rose.
Too many, Mons. Verdier, too many; yet he has given us some good Roses- Prince Camille de Rohan, Professor Koch, and others.  9 looks well on paper; so does 10.  11 has the fault of two colours.  12 ought to be good.  13 not full enough.  14, good.  15, same fault as 11.  16, good- that is, so far as description goes.

[Duchesse de Morny] n'est pas la seule rose que M. Eugène Verdier met au commerce cet automne; nous avons encore pu apprécier le mérite des suivantes, qu'il livrera au prix de 25 fr. l'une:
Madame Victor Verdier; fleurs en coupe, d'un beau rose cerise brillant, réunies par 10 à 12 en bouquet terminal. C'est encore une variété supérieure, qui restera dans les collections, comme le nom qu'elle porte restera toujours attaché à l'histoire de la culture du Rosier en France; M. Eugène Verdier ne pouvait choisir, pour faire ressortir le mérite de cette magnifique variété, un nom plus digne que celui de sa mère.
