☐ POST COMMENT

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

It would be so cool if DNA testing could be done to confirm if this is indeed a cross between Veilchenblau and Reine des Violettes. Per the suggestion that this rose may be the same as 'Mme. E. Rocque'... What a twofer cross!	REPLY

Bonjour,
La référence aux Grandes Roseraies du Val de Loire est erronée concernant la date d'obtention de 'Bleu magenta' et le nom de l'obtenteur. Il faut lire entre les lignes pour voir que ce qu'ils appellent "nouveautés" signifie nouveauté dans leur commercialisation, pas la date d'obtention. D'ailleurs, les gens qui ont fait une recherche sur cette rose arrivent aux dates de 1900-1910, pas les années 1930. Dans les nouveautés de 1933 du catalogue de 1935 figurent des roses de Lens, Pernet-Ducher, Barbier ...
Amicalement,
Daniel

Grandes Roseraies est mentionné comme obtenteur car c'est la plus ancienne mention connue à nous. Si vous connaissez des références antérieures à 1910, nous pouvons corriger cela. Peut-être avez-vous les catalogues Barbier?	REPLY

Origin of the Color of Cv. 'Rhapsody in Blue' Rose and Some Other So-called “Blue” Roses.
Jean-François Gonnet

Cyanin is probably "trapped" into AVIs at higher concentrations than would be possible in a vacuolar solution and in quinonoidal form, appearing purple-blue because of additional absorption in the 580-630 nm area. Quite similar pigmentation features were found in very ancient rose cultivars (cv. L’Evêque or Bleu Magenta), also displaying this type of so-called "blue" color.

Bleu Magenta. This rose reached me from the Roseraie de l'Haÿ near Paris, but I have been unable to trace the name anywhere. This is unfortunate, since it is that largest in flower and the richest in colour of the purplish ramblers. Fully double the flowers in dense clusters, darkest violet-crimson fading tom dark parma-violet and grey, with an occasional white fleck. Practically scentless. Shining dark green leaves on nearly thornless green wood. An effective garden plant. About 15 feet. The last to flower of the purple ramblers.
