‘Ville de Londres’ = Ancien – Gallique – rose intense. Apparemment disponible seulement en Europe, … ravissant rose cerise. De l’avis de François Joyaux, le rosier vendu aujourd’hui sous ce nom serait plutôt ‘Gloire des Jardins’ (Descemet, France, avant 1815). Peut-être Vibert, France, avant 1850. Ascendance inconnue.

VILLE DE LONDRES Vibert (?), towards 1845-1850 (?)
According to Jacob et al... this variety, which has been often listed as a Damask, is one of the last cultivars bred by Vibert ; Robert, his successor, has been happy to commercialize it. Very few nurseries offer a gallica called "Ville de Londres" : it is in fact "La gloire des jardins". The variety does not figure in any large poblic rose garden ; it is probably extinct.
