Magazine (8 Mar 1913) Page(s) 123. The Rose Garden. Some Uncommon Roses. Belle Vichysoise produces its violet pink flowers in clusters early in the season and again in September, when it is most valuable on that account.
Magazine (11 May 1912) Page(s) 324. Horticultural Club. Mr. G. L. Paul once pointed out to me the similarity between Belle Vichysoise and the pink Pissardii, though there is a difference in the foliage. Now, Belle Vichysoise is undoubtedly a hybrid, and is often classed with the Noisettes, and the resemblance, so far as it goes, tends to confirm my opinion of its hybrid origin, though I must admit I am without positive evidence of the hybridity of R. Pissardii.
