Bonjour,
Le Polyantha 'Excelsior' est indiqué avoir été obtenu par Houry et commercialisé par Les grandes Roseraies du Val de Loire.
Cependant, la photo en couleur de la rose 'Excelsior' 1913 parue dans le calatogue des Grandes Roseraies de 1924 indique : "Photographie en couleurs par Léon Houry. Laboratoires des Grandes Roseraies du Val de Loire. Plaq. Autochrome Lumière. Objectif Lacour-Berthiot f: 4."
Cette rose n'a donc pas été obtenue par le photographe Houry.
Amicalement,
Daniel

La Revue Horticole de 1913 dit: MM. Houry et Cassegrain présentaient toute une série de R. polyanthas nouveaux peu différents des variétés déjà connues; citons : Candeur orléanaise, Excelsior, Le Matin, Radium, Triomphe Orléanais, etc.

Vous avez raison !
Je viens de voir qu'en 1911 Léon Houry pépiniériste s'est associé à René Cassegrain pour former les Grandes Roseraies du Val de la Loire. La photo présentant Excelsior en couleurs, dans leur catalogue de 1924, m'a induit en erreur, on pouvait penser qu'elle était de Houry .
Amicalement,
Daniel

The World Federation site has no listing for 2020 trials at Rose Hills. According to "World Rose News" of June 2020 the Rose Hills trials in 2020 were cancelled due to Covid-19. The "Bloomables" site seems to be from Star Roses and shows practically only Meilland roses. We need some corroboration for this event, possibly a local publication.

I'd love to hear opinions from those growing this rose.

I absolutely love this rose. It's a continual bloomer with very cupped delicate-looking nodding flowers in the perfect shade of cranberry/cherry, a very strong sweet fragrance, good heat resistance, and is fairly healthy. Unlike red eden there's no issues with balling even though her flowers are very cupped. Good heat resistance for me but I'm in PA - summers are humid with temps averaging mid to high 80s, low 90s. The only complaint is her bush form is very awkward, like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. Very long pencil straight canes that shoot to the sky stiffly with little give and blooms shooting off of the tips like fireworks with long peduncles. I keep her tucked behind my porch railing facing south to hide her strangeness and let the flowers poke through
