This rose is impossibly bright and vibrant. Blooms in clusters of rich neon orange in a velvet texture. They don't fade much but do turn more neon red with age before fading at the late end of the bloom. They grow fast and well but will need blackspot protection if you live n a humid place or have odd springs that quickly switch between warm and cool. Flowers are up to 3.5 inches across usually in lovely clusters. A good spring pruning greatly boosts this plants vigor. Potted in Zone 7a and doing well going on 5 years. I spent years looking for one and my first bush was pitiful. Years later I found a seller and bought 5. I love this plant and hope it keeps in collection for generations to come. This rose is stunning and would make a nice hybridizer to get some good oranges.

If you like it you shoudl check out Salita, which may be related to it. Same eye-bleed red-orange coloration, but bigger, fatter blooms.

Good Morning
I have an 8ft Salita. Thats a great recommendation, I Absolutely love it. My particular one is a little less neon vibrant at the Brillant but you are correct they are fatter. I have a big collection of orange roses I plan on adding my pics and 2cents on here. Something about that color is just spectacular on a rose for me.

You’ll probably also like ‘Ring of Fire’.

so I got what was labeled as orange flare and its bloomed out somthing completely different. the general consensus is its actually ring of fire and I LOVE it. the whole plant is beautiful and the flowers are huge with perfect form. It's not as vibrant or shocking as brillant but definitely high up on my favorites for sure. I plant buy a few more ROF to do a mass planting once I move. Thanks for the suggestion that ended up in my collection anyway. :)

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 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
