Does anyone know why Singer, in his Dictionnaire of 1885, attributes this rose to Laffay 1832 (an attribution which has been embraced ever since)? I find no reference to the rose before 1837, giving credence to what Forney states in 1864, to wit that it was introduced in Belgium around 1840 (close enough to 1837!).

The source of the attribution by Singer is yet unknown. The marriage of Cecilia Franks with George Bosanquet was in 1831, so that might be a clue for his 1832 date. Regarding a Belgian breeder of 'Mrs Bosanquet', the only one who comes to mind is Parmentier, who bred several Bourbons. All other Belgian breeders of the period bred Gallicas and Damasks. 'Mrs Bosanquet' doesn't appear in any listing of Parmentier's roses, however. Unless it is a seedling he sent to Sisley-Vandael who named it. In Sisley's catalogue of 1838 there is a light pink Tea (not Bourbon) named 'Mistress Bosanquet'. This rose was not in Sisley's 1834 catalogue.

The latest edition of American Rose, July/August 2024, contains a most interesting article about roses in Romania, by Angela Bokor. Judging from the photos of lavish public gardens, Romania would seem to have a near perfect climate for roses. Reference is made to a species "endemic to the Cozia Mountains", 'Rosa coziae', pg. 29. There is a picture on the same page, 29, which shows a semidouble partly opened pink rose with long sepals and either mossing or bristles. Is this species perhaps known to HMF under some other name?

We have now added Rosa coziae. There seem to be differing opinions on botanists whether this is a species or not. Some have it as a synonym of Rosa villosa L. Considering that the 1955 naming is not a valid publication, it should probably be regarded as one of the many local subspecies of Rosa villosa L.
