It's looking like that's the case!

I was hoping another Administrator might take some action on this one......however.
Would you like me to merge "Charleston Graveyard" with 'Louis-Philippe' (china, Guérin, 1834), or at the very least, put a notation on the "Charleston Graveyard" page as to what it is thought to be?

I think we need to separate into 2 different files: My first thought was that the name 'Louis Philippe' could have been changed to 'Président d'Olbecque' after the revolution in February 1848 which deposed King Louis Philippe of France and sent him to exile, establishing (again) a Republic. However, both names continued to be listed separately in catalogues with distinct descriptions until the mid 1880s.

The first mention of synonmity appears in the 1886 "Rosen-Zeitung" in a 3-page letter to the Editors. It is quite shocking to read on what feeble base later authors accepted a long list of roses as being synonymous. Judge for yourself:
"I find in the article "Reduction of Rose Novelties" by Baron Palm, Stuttgart, in No. 5 of Rosenzeitung the wish expressed to list all synonyms of Rose varieties. As in my opinion such process should be the basis of reduction of not only the novelties, but of rose varities at all, as then , if only partly, the vast number of these would be decreased, so I allow myself to send to the esteemed editors a Directory of Rose Synonyms which I wrote about 1 1/2 years ago and which was published last year in "Ogradnik Polsko", the publication of the Warsaw Horticulture.
In this, with same introductory remarks, I had already at the time highlighted that the same does not claim to be infallible or complete, as I personally, although I am a nurseryman by profession, did not have the possiblity to compare independently, as the necessary material is only inadequately available with us; rather I wanted to stimulate with this Directory those nurserymen and roselovers who have sufficient material in their hands, or who at least know where they could search the essentially necessary material, to secure synonyms.
Finally, I will repeat again, that this Directory can only be the start of a Basis, on which it could be gradually possible, to carry out the so urgently needed and difficult to carry out task of Review iof Rose varieties, and I ask at the same time for indulgence for the surely not missing incorrectness and gaps in my compilation. For some sorts, I have allowed myself, to indicate the quaestonability of synonyms by question marks.
With the wish, that my work will not be seen as for nothing, signs himself....E Durst, Warsaw. "

On occasion of the "Congrès des Rosiériste" in Orléans, Léon Chenault published an article in the February 1898 issue of "Journal des Roses" (pp. 21-23) synonyms, citing mix-ups at nurseries (sounds familiar). In the "Rosen-Zeitung" of April 1896, a 1 1/2 page list of synonyms had already been published on the same premise.
