[From "Why Heritage Roses?", by Dominique Massad, pp. 20-23]
Starting from a seed of Rosa filipes obtained from the Beijing Botanical Garden, I singled out the seedling which flowered the best. It was then crossed with Chinas such as ‘Sanguinea’, ‘Mme Laurette Messimy’ (Guillot fils, 1887) as well as ’Rosina’ [???], a hybrid of Rosa wichuraiana which had been sold as ‘Le Vésuve’. The desired traits have been achieved after more than 25 years of trials: ‘Gunsho’ and ‘Eridion’ for color, ‘Parc de Maupassant’ and ‘Château de la Mothe Chandeniers’ for their scent, ‘Château de Guillerval’ for the size of the blooms, and the reblooming traits found in ‘Rose delacroix’, ‘Belle de Sardaigne’ and ‘Rêve de Mireille’.

[From "My Adventure in Ramblers", by Dominique Massad, pp. 2-6]
All the first generation of crosses possess rambling traits, an excellent resistance to disease as well as a good color range, but none are reblooming. In order to achieve this, I continued with the descendants of ‘Thierry Simon de Kergunic’. In 1990, I crossed this variety with ‘Cornelia,’ a hybrid of Rosa moschata. The following spring (1991) one of the roses stood out by blooming early, with rambling qualities as well as being remontant. These qualities were confirmed in the years that followed with strong branching. The rose possessed all the qualities that were aimed for in a reblooming rambler. It was released onto the market and given the name of a landscaper from Angers, ‘Rose Delacroix’.
