(Your rescued Dr Hogg was heading towards 6' last week, Patricia. - Margaret Furness comment in 'Silver Queen, March 12, 2014)
That is great news Margaret. I've seen some six foot canes here myself occasionally but they always seem to get the black death. I am comforted by the memory of the donor, Mrs. Sheila Gravett, saying to me "Oh, you can't kill old Dr. Hogg". I keep striking it just in case...........

CROSS-FERTILIZING AND RAISING ROSES FROM SEED IN ENGLAND
BY T. T. LAXTON, BEDFORD, ENG.
The parentage of H.P.'s Richard Laxton sent out by Mr. C. Turner, and Dr. Hogg in the hands of Messrs. Paul & Son, I regret being unable to identify; but with a large and continually increasing number of seedlings I have found it impossible to keep even the year's results in all cases distinct.

Why isn't 'Dr. Hogg' cross referenced as growing in the Carla Fineschi Foundation Rose Garden.
It is listed as one of their roses, as Dr. Hoog, but that is one of the synonyms of 'Dr. Hogg'.

It is because their own catalogue lists the rose as 'Dr. Hoog'. as you mention, it is listed under this name.

When typing in Dr. Hogg in the name search, nothing happens. This rose is listed as Doctor Hogg. As Brent C. Dickerson in "Old Roses: The Master List" 2nd edition, p188 lists it as Dr. Hogg, perhaps the name might need some more attention.
Mr. Dickerson also lists the parentage as - either 'Pierre Notting' (HP) or 'Duke of Edinburgh' (HP).

Do you know the original source for the 'Duke of Edinburgh' parentage?

No, sorry I don't. Interestingly, the man himself had a connection with Edinburgh.
From BRITISH GARDENERS: A Biographical Dictionary.
Pomologist, botanist, writer, Hogg was born in Berwickshire, the son of a leading nurseryman of the nearby town of Coldstream. He was originally intended for the medical profession, but an early interest in natural science caused him to turn to botanical studies at Edinburgh University
