[Referring to the plant believed to be Général Tartas:]
Général Tartas  Tea. Good, reliable rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. ..small and spreading habit.... Bernède, 1860 [Huntington i.d.]. Blush-pink with deep rose-pink, the guard petals rose red; these are large flowers profusely produced on a strong bush. Having grown this for many years and labeled it as it was identified at the Huntington, Mme. de Tartas, we are now fairly certain that [Général Tartas] is the correct name for this superb garden plant. ... In Australia this is grown as Souvenir d'un Ami, but there the real Mme. de Tartas we believe is correctly identified."

While in Bermuda recently.....With the help of Bill and Lorna Mercer I was able to sort out a mix-up in my nursery between 'Maman Cochet' and 'White Maman Cochet'.   Also, thanks to the Mercers, I came back very confused as to the true  identitites of  'Homere' and 'Mme. de Tartas'.
