I have had a search of the literature and the references are confirming that size of the bloom is a way to distinguish these two roses. - Patricia Leontine Gervais 1911 “small in size” 1936 5cm 1967 “two inches” Auguste Gervais 1919 “four to five inches” 1936 10-12 cm. |

The confusion seems to have been a very early one: The references of 1913 and 1933 speak of large flowers for Léontine Gervais. All LG I have seen nowadays have large flowers, so they must be Auguste Gervais. But where is the original LG?

I saw two different roses labelled Leontine Gervais in New Zealand. The attached photo shows one with more petals and a button eye. Does anyone recognise it?
