Last year I remarked that 'Grand Amour' was "a German rose with a French name" and gave Kordes as the raiser. It came to Australia from Kordes but was raised and distributed first by Delbard of France. There have appeared, too, several misspellings of the name.

Grand Amour  A good bright red rose and it won several international awards last year.

Grande Amour HT. (Kordes) A very good red of good shape, the large blooms having about twenty-five petals which are nicely reflexed with a high centre. The colour is light and bright with a touch of yellow at the base. Very sweetly scented, free flowering, and it is a good red.

Grande Amour, HT. (Kordes, 1968) A German rose with a French name! Large, bright crimson cultivar of excellent conventional form. Fragrant, healthy and vigorous.

p155.  Mr. W. G. Treloar, Portland, Victoria. The New Ones.  
Grande Amour The red flowers are better and of exhibition form on the older plants. Mildew worries this new one.
