I absolutely adore this rose. I first obtained 'Lillian Gibson' in 2005 from Suzy Verrier's North Creek Farm in Phippsburg, Maine. From that one rose, twenty years later I have probably over a dozen plants. It doesn't sucker like a gallica, but if you dig it up to move it, and in the process leave a few roots behind, well you will have new roses sprouting up in that spot in no time! I've found the North Creek Farm catalog description of 'Lillian Gibson' to be spot-on: "star of the garden"; "the very finest of the hardy climbers" with "beautiful semi-double cupped blossoms of clear, soft salmon pink -- over a very, very long period of bloom but technically non-repeat. Very healthy, bright green foliage and nearly thornless red canes."

The parentage is simply Graham Thomas x Davidoff, the same as Versigny’s according to my private communication with the Breeder Dominique Massad. Please correct this information.

Not quite there yet but it’s true. Both well deserved to be in the Hall of Fame.

Someone suggest it's "Bolshoï"(MEIzuzes), but I think Bolshoi is not that red( more pinkish?), the leaves are not that glossy.(This variety is commonly called 'Caprice de Meilland' in China, but it is clearly a misnomer.)
The color is Vibrant cherry red with a velvety texture, and the back of the petals has a pearlescent or silver hue. Size is 10~12cm. When it is about to wither, its petals will turn purple tone. The fragrance is not strong.
The leaves are very large and quite glossy. The plant is very upright and has good growth.
I noticed the rose "Yakimour", lookes quite alike. but the information is very limited so I still not sure about it.
Does anyone know its real name?
