James Delahanty. The Romance of Polyanthas.
'Mme. Norbert Levavasseur' appeared in 1903, a cross between 'Crimson Rambler' and 'Gloire des Polyantha. 'Crimson Rambler' shot 15 to 20 feet in the air. The newly minted rose stayed small, around 15 inches or so. There were two major disadvantages to maximizing the popularity of 'Mme. Norbert Levavasseur': one was the existence of a name with eight syllables, seven soft consonants and a catarrh-like resonance; this was solved by a clever American marketer who condensed the original name to five syllables: 'Red Baby Rambler'. The other problem was that the medium red color blued badly at the end of the bloom cycle. Nevertheless, 'Mme. Norbert Levavasseur' engendered 31 first-generation crosses as well as a total of 6,624 descendants.

'Mme  Norbert Levavasseur'   Shorter   Crimson     Remontant  P2   H1 
The  name proved too much for the Americans, who promptly called it 'Red Baby Rambler',  and  ensured its popularity. This rose is an important  one in the development of the Polyantha, for it was the parent of 'Orleans Rose'. It was deep red, although the colour went wickedly blue. Levavasseur et Fils raised it from 'Crimson  Rambler' x 'Gloire des Polyantha';  'Crimson Rambler' was a genuine climber, not a baby one. Introduced in 1903
