Thank you for this one. We've noted previously that the receptacle of "Not Princesse de Sagan" is variable in shape.
Interesting that it was said to be the same colour as Souv de Therese Levet. Looking again at a widespread Australian foundling whose study names include "Kombacy Elyena".

The same engraving appears as 'Meteor' in Good & Reese's 1893 'Floral Treasures' on page 17 and the lower rose in the same image appears as 'Paul Neyron' in their 1894 and 1895 'Floral Treasures' both on page 61, so unfortunately it's a matter of taking your pick of which rose it might really be.

Lol. No doubt there might be other roses it was used for too. I guess the value in these early reused engravings (if the original can't be determined with certainty) lies in the fact in the fact that the nurserymen must have thought that the roses they were used for must have looked enough alike in some way to have selected that illustration.
