    The Journal of Horticulture in Australia, 1909, which has many inaccuracies, gives Dalhunty as a synonym.

    The rose garden (1848) Division 2, 132-133
    By William Paul
    Tea-Roes may be divided into two classes: "Ligneous*," represented by Comte de Paris, and "Herbaceous," of which we may instance the Yellow. The former, which are marked †, are far hardier than the others and form good Standards. If the latter are grown as such, they must be thoroughly protected during the winter.

    *The words "Ligneous" and "Herbaceous" are not used in their strict botanical sense, but to distinguish the two races.

    What do the words, Madame Pean 1844, mean in the 1893 Ellwanger reference for 'Comte de Paris'?
    Reply #1 posted 13 APR 09 by Cass
    The format of Ellwanger's listing is numbered, in two columns.

    On the left, the "Variety, Habit of Growth, and Class"
    Comte de Paris, mod. [moderate] or dwf. [dwarf] T. [Tea]

    On the right, the "Description" including raiser/breeder/introducer and year followed by a description.:
    Madame Pean [raiser/breeder/introducer], 1844. Flesh color, large flowers.

    Thanks Cass. I couldn't relate that back to Hardy, but now I see "introduced by Pean".

    It may be the other way around too - bred by Pean and introduced by Hardy.
