    "... and Mrs. Robert Garrett, out of Sombreuil, by Caroline Testout. "

    In other words, Sombreuil x Mme. Caroline Testout

    Mme Caroline Testout and its Descendants
    Philomel
    From America in the same year [1898] a sport of Mme. Caroline Testout, named Mrs. Robert Garratt, was introduced. This never made much headway, though quite distinct. I believe it has been eclipsed by the far more beautiful Killarney, apparently another of Mme. Caroline Testout's offspring.

    This comes from the same nursery that gave us Radiance. Bred in the USA, but no longer available here. I wonder if it performs as well as Radiance?
