I'm not sure that 'Souv. de Alupka' is the same rose.
Michurin mentioned it in his observations from the summer of 1896:
"Tough. Major. Semi-double. Dark yellow."

CybeRose,
Your views alway command respect. I wonder what your reasoning is on this point. The photo I posted of 'Aloupka' at the Vorontsovs' palace seems roughly to fit Michurin's description, allowing for the pallor of yellow roses before the intrusion of Rosa foetida. The other photo posted, taken by Etienne Bouret at l'Hay les Roses, seems obviously a different rose, neither semi-double nor yellow of any sort.

I have added rough translations of references to 'Alupka' from two articles by Ms. Arbatskaja. It seems that the identity of this rose is still questionable.

I see: Mignonette d'Aloupka, Favorite d'Aloupka, Souvenir d'Aloupka, since von Hartwiss gave his roses names in French. Some would have been produced after 1834 and so do not appear in his handwritten catalogue. Any of them might have had their names shortened to Aloupka. Or perhaps there was a separate variety called simply Aloupka.
Is there any evidence that the yellow rose at the Vorontsovs' palace is identical to Maréchal Neil or not? You would think it was in principle an easy call to make. If it is NOT the same, which of the Aloupkas is it likely to be? Not such an easy call, I realize.
Below is a photo from Arbatskaya, "Old Roses on the South Coast of Crimea" of an Aloupka at Sangerhausen which is evidently neither of the roses whose photos are currently attached to the HMF entry. Its buds at least are red.

Eric,
I wasn't "reasoning" on this. I found the reference and wanted to put it somewhere. I should copy more of Michurin's descriptions for comparison. E.g.,
Safrano: Hardy. Semi-double. Fragrant. Blooms profusely. Copper-yellow.

von Hartvis hat keine Züchtung, die einfach Alupka hieß. Die einfach "Alupka" taucht als eine Fundrose in Deutschland auf, um Jahrhundertwende. Ein reisender Deutscher hat sie von der Krim gebracht, dabei ist es nicht klar, ob der Fundort den Namen gegeben hat, oder ist es tatsächlich ein Teil des ursprünglichen Namens. Die Rose wird bei Jäger als "weiße Niel" beschrieben. In den russischen Katalogen von der Krim und aus Odessa aus der Zeit vor 1917 wird sie mal weiß, mal Kanariengelb beschrieben. Die Pflanze in SGH entspricht keiner der Beschreibungen. Die Pflanze in Alupka ist NICHT IDENTIFIZIERT. Es wäre zu voreilig sie als Alupka zu präsentieren. Die Variante aus SGH ist in der Vermehrung und wird demnächst von Frau Prof. Dr. Klimenko untersucht.

Thank you, Krimrose. It will be very interesting to hear what Professor Klimenko finds.

Dauert noch. Sie bekommt die Pflanze aus SGH jetzt im Herbst, vor dem nächsten Sommer ist nichts zu erwarten.

I have heard or read nothing. One hopes feebly that the work of Prof Klimenko and others continues under the Russian takeover of Crimea.

Russia's first breeder of roses Gartvis has presented Alupka bred specifically for her class. Two of them selected in 1829 - "Alupka" and "Countess Elizabeth Vorontsov" - entered the world directory.
