Isn't it more likely that the honoree is Charles-Louis Napoléon Bonaparte, later known as Napoléon III?

Charles Louis Napoléon was in exile until 1848. His attempt at an insurrection failed in 1840. I doubt that Foulard/Verdier would name the rose after an enemy of the government.

Leaving off the last name preserves deniability while waiting for political fortunes to change.

Possible, but then why dedicate roses to the generals Cavaignac and Changarnier both of which were in opposition to Louis Napoléon?

Great at marketing to newbie rose growers at outrageous prices. Not great at customer service. Both of my friends who bought from them are still owed roses two years later for roses not sent then, and for which they refused refunds when they could not fill the orders. Also, be aware that they will block you on their Facebook page if you say anything they do not like. They are trying hard to get newbie rose growers in over their heads with so called limited weekly releases of very difficult to grow florist roses grown on own root. Buyer should beware! This cannot last.

Now that Ashdown Roses is closed, RVR appears to be the only one selling it. Anyone have cuttings?
