This is a gorgeous rose. Mine has a strong, sweet scent, and I am the first to admit that I don't smell as well as I would like to. I am sad that this rose is not widely available.

Hello. Would you say it is fruity smelling as well as sweet? Have you tried placing one bloom in a vase of water to see if it can perfume a room? It looks similar to a rose I've been trying to identify (and purchase) which perhaps had slightly more of a deeper coral pink colour. That rose had 4 inch tall x 4 inch wide reflexed spiral blooms and could exhale an extraordinary fragrance when placed in a vase: strawberry mousse, raspberries (without the woody element) with a whisper of musk and a hint of lime - smoother than 'Fragrant Cloud' and more pervasive than 'Chandos Beauty'.

Bonjour Monsieur Kai-Erik, Moi aussi, je suis passionné par les roses, surtout par les rosiers anciens. Il y a quelque temps, vous vous étiez intéressé par le rosier Comtesse Ouwaroff. Avez-vous réussi à contacter monsieur Joseph Beaujean ? Est-ce que cette rose est à votre disposition ? Si oui, auriez-vous l'amabilité de partager des bouturages avec moi pour mon jardin privé ? Bien à vous, Elizabeth

HMF gives Vibert as the breeder of this rose and 1845 as the introduction date, but in his 1845 catalogue, Vibert doesn't indicate that he bred this rose. I suspect that William Paul, writing in 1848, was correct to say that the rose was introduced in 1845 'from Angers', however.
One likely possibility is that Vibert discovered this rose as a sport. I've seen a number of roses that are attributed to him that he didn't claim as coming from his "semis". He must have discovered and introduced any number of sports during his long career, but I don't think he tagged them in his catalogues as his creations. The 1845 catalogue's price of 3 1/2 francs does seem appropriate for an 1845 rose introduction.

Clearly not bred by Vibert, but introduced by him. Teas were not his forte in any case.

He did sell Teas, though, so maybe a sport that he discovered?

Hello, just for information I saw that there were 2 cards for Rosy Boom ® Rot & Rosy Boom ® Rouge ® roses, perhaps the 2 should be merged ?

If I am understanding your comment properly, these are not two separate listings, rather synonyms for the same rose.

I get those too. So, I turned mine to friend only, and when I would try to send to a friend, it would say they went private. Yet, they didn't. When I put mine back to public, sending a note to a friend on the friend list went through just fine.

Perhaps the response to such messages could be to report the trolls to hmf admin. Unless they post anonymously.

I had one that did until they figured out how to make an account. They go away. Its usually a reaction to posting information they don't like, or questioning such information. But I just post info, questions, and statements. HMF makes final calls. The replier can simply argue in public, but they don't because its vitriol. So I ignore it so it goes away, because I don't want to trash the site up. Roses are for peace, serenity, tranquility, amusement, bewilderment, and other such similar rare, abstract states of existence. HMF is also a resource for helping, as well stringing the historical record of roses together (and sometimes finding the lost fragments). So I simply don't feed the trolls. If not feeding them does not work, then I would definitely report them.
