"Huntington Souvenir d'un Ami" rose References
Book (2006) Page(s) 85. "Huntington Souvenir d'un Ami". Tea. Good, Relaible rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Taller, upright, light caned and twiggy. Bélot-Défougère, 1846. (provenance: Huntington i.d.) Elegant swirled buds open to large flowers of pale porcelain rose faintly warmed with salmon or buff; petals folded in petals folded in petals. Lovely as it is, this is not the original rose. One candidate we have considered for the true Souvenir d'un Ami is "McClinton Tea".
