p60. The Damasks. By 1841 William Paul's catalogue listed 23 but this had fallen to five in 1864. .....the seventh rose in the list is 'Mme. Stolz', which seems to have vanished..... Strangely there is no mention of such beauties as Ispahan,' Marie Louise' or even 'Blush Damask'.....

La Roseraie d’Orléans (garden) .......and no less than 530 climbers and ramblers.   The latter are wonderfully displayed on a large pergola, on trellis-work screens and on pylons, and are of particular interest because the district around Orléans was the birthplace of so many of them.   Among other raisers working in the field, between 1900 and 1914 René Barbier used R. wichuraiana and its close relative R. luciae, which had been introduced from Japan, in the breeding of ‘Alberic Barbier’,  Francois Juranville’,  Alexandre Girault’,  ‘Leontine Gervaise’,  ‘Albertine’ and ‘Primavère’,  all of which can still be found in the garden, amongst a wealth of others.

.......La France was raised by Guillot in France - though not, it would seem, from a deliberate cross, even though the Hybrid Perpetual ‘Mme. Victor Verdier’ and the Tea Rose ‘Mme. Bravy’ are often quoted as its parents.    Even the raiser did not agree that this was certain.....

Plate VII.  Pernetiana Roses.
These were the first bright yellow cultivated roses. They were named after the French nurserymen Joseph Pernet, who originated them by crossing Hybrid Perpetuals and others with the Persian yellow, R. foetida persiana.  'Soleil d'Or' (bottom) was the first to be put on the market in 1900, to be followed by 'Rayon d'Or' in 1910. These early ones were not, however, very robust, and it was not until Dickson  introduced Mrs Wemyss Quinn (centre left) in 1914 that any of the Hybrid Teas among them could be called strong growers.  'Lawrence Johnston' (top) is a climbing member of the family, and 'Reveil Dijonnais' (centre right) a comparatively modern shrub rose or semi-climber.
