Notes:
August Jäger believes that Bougère was sold as Anna Hilzer by Hilzer (1892). The synonym with 'Clothilde' by Rolland might just mean a similarity of the two roses. Roseraie L'Haÿ had listed 'Anna Hilzer', 'Bougère' and 'Clothilde' separately in 1902. Rolland introduced 'Clotilde' as a seedling of 'Bougère'. Later authors believed it is the same rose. Modern Roses 12 lists two roses under the synonym of Bougère: one is Clotilde, bred by Roland, 1867, described as medium pink with violet pink, and the other is Bougère, bred by Bougère, 1832, described as deep salmon shaded bronze, probably extinct.
