 Dr. A. S. Thomas:
.....we want no more instances of similarity like  'Souvenir de Mme. Boullet' and 'Sallie Lewis'.

Book  (1953)  
 
p78.  Dr. A. S. Thomas: 'Souvenir de Mme. Boullet' blooms very early in the spring and, at that time, many of the flowers are little more than very deep cream. Later, in the summer and autumn, the colour is almost incongruously a deep cadmium yellow but the size, form and lasting properties of the spring blooms have disappeared. The differences are so marked in every way that, if we did not know this rose so well, we would find it hard to believe that the one plant produced the blooms. ‘Sallie Lewis’ is identical with 'Souvenir de Mme. Boullet'

Souvenir de Madame Boullet is, in my opinion, an ideal rose for a standard.

Nous avons trois roses dont l'origine commune l'aspect et la couleur, peuvent prêter à confusion sur leur identité.
La première « Lady Hillingdon », se présente habituellement par trois, sur une longue tige, totalement dépourvue d'aiguillon ; son pédoncule est lisse ; ses sépales, appendiculés, donnent l'idée du Monsieur qui voudrait cacher sa calvitie.
La deuxième « Souvenir de Madame Boulet » est régulièrement uniflore, sa tige est moins longue, sévèrement année, le plus souvent par aiguillons tassés au-dessous de la première feuille ; son pédoncule est soyeux ; ses sépales sont rarement appendiculés, mais ciliés de glandes,
La troisième « Souvenir de François Graindorge » est, aussi, uniflore ; son feuillage est plus abondant, plus ondulé sur ses bords et d'un vert plus foncé ; le soyeux de son pédoncule n'est perceptible qu'au toucher ; son premier mérithalle est habituellement dépourvu d'aiguillon. Ce n'est qu'exceptionnellement qu'il en montre quelques-uns, dispersés.

Souvenir de Madame Boullet (a weak stemmed variety)

p111. Mr. A. Brundrett, Narre Warren North, Vic.  Six Indispensables
Souv. de Madame Boullett is first favourite in the gold class and this variety probably picks more blooms per plant per season than any other variety, despite its tendency also to come large, pale and coarse, in the spring blooming.
... Both Souv de Madame Boullet and Picture are so quick to mature and early to start secondary growth, that when plants are kept moist throughout the season, they will produce one crop of blooms more than other normal varieties.

p113. Mr. H. Brunning, Victoria.  Six Indispensables
Souvenier de Madame Boullet. Cadmium yellow in colour is a hardy rose that can be recommended for all types of soil, and under any conditions.

Unusual length of petal occurred in Betty, Duchess of Wellington, Eclipse, Lulu, McGredy's Scarlet, Mrs. F. Dennison, Mrs. W. C. Egan, Priscilla, Soeur Therese, Souv. de M. Boullet and many others, all of which, in their day, could claim Novelty.

After very serious consideration, my verdict goes to Souvenir de Madame Boullet (sent out in 1921 by Pernet Ducher). I have had three plants of this variety in my garden for the past 20 years, and they still show the same vigour as when first planted. They are particularly free from disease, grow well, and produce good crops of bloom several times each year. It would be hard to find a more attractive Rose in the bud form. It develops into a good shapely bloom, and even when full blown is still an attractive flower with its wealth of rich, deep yellow petals. It keeps well in water, and is definitely my number one choice.
