The description of this rose matches Beales Monsieur Tillier and as both have been in L'Hay and Sangerhausan could have been mixed up. I am aware that Beales Monsieur Tillier is being equated to Marie Nabonnand but feel this is also a possibility.
where the monsieur tillier which you'r offering is coming from? does he matches marie nabonnand, or do you believe it might be another plant? rewards kai-eric
'Aline Sisley' had purple flowers, was a bush and had flowers in the shape of a Centifolia, with a corresponding scent. [source : Guillot]
'Beales' M. Tillier' and 'Marie Nabonnand' are big climbers, with a flower much like an hybrid tea with a Damask scent.
Dominique Massad and I agree that 'Aline Sisley' and 'Beales' M. Tillier' are unlikely the same plant. Whereas 'Marie Nabonnand' is a perfect match, specially after comparing the two plants 'in the flesh'.
'Aline Sisley' has been created in 1869 and commercialised in 1874 by Jean Baptiste GUILLOT, the son Aline Sisley was a daughter of Jean SISLEY, the secretary of "la societe des rosieristes lyonnais" in 1877
