Editor:  “Jedmar” agrees with Lynne Chapman, that the colour of the (hoped-for) reversion on Mme Driout (Climbing HT, before 1901) doesn’t really match the descriptions of Reine Marie Henriette (Levet 1878): it may instead be a new, unstriped, sport of Mme Driout. If so, it’s not very interesting and I’m not calling it more than “Possible sport of Mme Driout”.

The return of the queen? The colour change from the striped Mme Driout (below left), before 1901, does appear to be stable (maybe a few stripes remaining, below right, potted plant). Its sport parent Reine Marie Henriette, Cl. HT 1878, should be cherry-red: I’ll need to see the plants growing in the ground to assess whether this is a reversion to RMH or a new sport, as potting mixes can affect colours.

Margaret Furness.  Sporting and Reverting.
Reverting can also be useful for retrieving the lost. The rose imported decades ago and distributed as Reine Marie Henriette 1878 turned out to be its offspring Noëlla Nabonnand 1901.  We do have a striped sport of RMH, Mme Driout, in Australia, so we've been watching it for reversion to RMH. Last November I was telling this story to an overseas visitor, and was stopped mid-sentence by seeing two unstriped blooms on my plant. It was very close to the time for collecting budwood, so we won't know whether it was a stable reversion till the plants budded from those branchlets flower.  Watch this space.

Sherri Berglund: Rose Sleuth Fred Boutin.
....At that time, the Huntington Botancial gardens grew an imposter of 'Reine Marie Henriette' in the form of a Climbing Floribunda from 1953 called 'Parade', bred by Boerner. Fred found the correct 'Reine Marie Henriette', the famous red climber bred by Levet in 1878, in the historic mining towns of Tuolumne and Sonora in California's Sierra Nevada region. According to Vintage Gardens Book of Roses, Phillip Robinson also collected 'Reine Marie Henriette' at the old Pedroncelli Winery in Geyserville, California, and made the identification by growing 'Mme. Driout', the sport of 'Reine Marie Henriette'.

'Reine Marie Henriette'. HT Cl. Good reliable rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Habit [diagram] 2. Levet, 1878. [Provenance: Robinson, found]. A very famous rose which for many years now has been wrongly distributed, the variety 'Parade' masquerading in the queen's place. Deep rose-cherry blooms, broadly cupped, with intense perfume; a modest grower which would serve well on a low wall or fence. Phillip Robinson spent years believing he had found this at the old Pedroncelli Winery, but until he was able to compare it with the sport 'Mme. Driout', imported from England, did not have the proof he needed to be certain.
