Re: Bloom - salmon orange.
That description does not reflect the early literature references to carmine pink, shaded salmon.

Helpmefind have picked up the quote from the 2nd edition of Foster Melliar, but I think the quote from the 4th edition also needs to be quoted:

1900 2nd edition p316
Said to be a seedling from Mrs. W. J. Grant, it certain[ly] shows a strong family likeness to that fine Rose, but is a better grower

1910 4th edition p304
Said to be a seedling from Mrs. W. J. Grant, it hardly shows a strong family likeness to that fine Rose, nor is it a better grower.
