It seems odd that this old rose could have been the pollen parent of 'Amberlight' [(Seedling x Lavender Pinocchio) x Marcel Bourgouin]. Just another of the mysteries of rose breeding.

In "Classic Roses" of Beales notes that he worked for the late Edward LeGrice when he crossed this (Marcel Bourgoin) and 'Tuscany Superb', among others, with modern roses to breed his famous range of unusually coloured modern varieties... I think 'Amberlight' was an intermediate step for breeding purposes. 'Amberlight''s offspring 'Tom Brown' was then widely used for further breeding. What is interesting is that while 'Marcel Bourgoin' is once-blooming, its descendants were repeat bloomers.

Perhaps the rebloom came from the pollen parent, 'Abel Carriere'.

the only picture posted for this rose is not the correct one as it depicts a pink rose and this rose is a dark purple red.

Yes, most likely an incorrect photo. Hopefully we'll hear from the contributor and she can comment on where it was taken.

Last weekend I saw a wrongly labelled light pink rose at Sangerhausen. Maybe the photo was taken there.
