‘De la Grifferaie’ (Vibert), 1846) carries double, fragrant magenta flowers on branches that are almost thornless, and it is therefore often used as an understock; it is probably a multiflora hybrid.

‘Fantin Latour’, named after Henri Fantin-Latour, the 19th century romantic painter (particularly of flowers), is a latecomer appearing first in 1900. Its blooms are exquisitely shaped and of surpassing beauty.

Shortly before the turn of the century, he married Leonie Lamesch, whose family lived across the frontier in Luxembourg.

p176.  .....The old climbing tea rose ‘Marechal Niel’ has the scent of raspberries and so has ‘Madame Bravy’ one of the progenitors of the first hybrid tea (large-flowered) roses. 

p191.  ‘Madame Bravy’ is famous for having been one of the assumed parents of ‘La France’,  officially the first of the large-flowered roses, formerly known as the hybrid teas.   It was first raised by the Guillot nursery of Pont-de-Chervy about 18 miles (29 km) from Lyon, France in 1844, assigned (under the name ‘Danzille’) to another Guillot nursery in Lyon in 1846 and introduced as ‘Madame Bravy’ two years later.   The flowers are cream, flushed or streaked with carmine.

A more fully authenticated encounter took place in 1912 when a Pernet-Ducher rose with flame-coloured blooms won the prize of 1,000 pounds offered by the London Daily Mail for the best new rose of the year. It was planned to call it the ‘Daily Mail Rose’, but unfortunately, Pernet-Ducher had already promised to name the rose after the wife of a friend, Edouard Herriot, who was to become prime minister of France in 1924, but who was then an almost unknown local politician. Pernet refused to break his promise to his friend, so the rose was called the ‘Daily Mail Rose’ in Britain but remained ‘Madame Edouard Herriot’to the world at large.

Ruhm von Steinfurth (Weigand, 1920), which many prefer to call by the more compendious name of 'Red Druschki, is the offspring of a cross between 'Frau Karl Druskchki' and a vigorous red-flowered climbing hybrid tea, 'General MacArthur' and should therefore look 'modern'. However, it wears the traditional features of the hybrid perpetual and is also included in that sector.

p116 Even the casual observer cannot fail to notice how few of the large-flowered roses popular today are survivors from the first quarter of this century. Souvenir de Claudius Pernet (Pernet-Ducher, 1920), corn-cob yellow) is among the ones that come readily to mind.

p144 The Pernet-Ducher nursery continued to produce excellent roses well into the present century - in particular, ‘Sourvenir de Claudius Pernet’, a beautiful, if tender, true yellow rose with a darker centre, which has imparted its good looks to many other modern large-flowered varieties; it won a gold medal at the Bagatelle contest. This rose was introduced in 1920 to commemorate Pernet-Ducher’s son. Because his regiment remained inactive during the early days of World War 1, he had resigned his commission in the French army and joined the ranks; he was mortally wounded soon afterwards. Pernet’s other son, Georges, was also killed in action, in 1915, and he too was commemorated with a rose, ‘Souvenir de Georges Pernet’, which also won a gold medal at the Bagatelle trials. But Pernet-Ducher himself never really recovered.
