'Enfant d'Ajaccio' rose Reviews & Comments

Midland Florist and Suburban Horticulturist vol. 3 page 363 (Jan to Dec, 1849)
L'Enfant d'Ajaccio, with me, is more robust than either of the preceding [George Cuvier and Cerise], and with good cultivation will make a fine pillar rose. I have it now six feet high, with blooms and abundance of buds. It is a very splendid thing, a fine deep scarlet; but then it is hardly so fine in form as some others.

The Gardeners’ Monthly and Horticulturist 2(7): 195 (July 1860) Among hybrid Bourbons Souvenier d’Anselme proves particularly hardy, and will drive Gloire de Rosamene entirely out of cultivation as a pillar rose. We call attention to this matter at this season because now is the time to take notes of such as grow strong and vigorously.

The Gardeners' Chronicle. Feb. 18, 1843. p. 100 THE ROSE GARDEN.—No. IV. “Z”
One of the best, and nearly the first, raised from the type [Gloire de Rosamene], is well known as Le grand Capitaine, with flowers of equal brilliancy, but more double than those of its parent. It is to be regretted that it has not the same peculiar luxuriance of habit; but this we have in an eminent degree in Enfant d'Ajaccio, lately raised at Lyons, having flowers nearly or quite double, with the fine laciniated foliage and robust habit of Gloire de Rosamene, and, above all, possessed of fragrance in a high degree.
