'Président d'Olbecque' rose Reviews & Comments

I have obtained this rose from Loubert catalogue and it matches the picture displayed here. I however have very strong doubts about it being true. The old references describing it as "cupped" and somewhat large or medium sized. And most of all there is no mention of the fringed petals which are conspicuous enough to be mentioned. The rose grown under this name bears small blooms with twisted and fringed petals, sort od misshaped, of a brilliant purple red at best with much paler, pinkish white, inner petals. I will pursue the investigation by comparing it to serratipetala and Bella Di monza .

Flower looks somehow similar to Grootendorst(red). But that is a Rugosa and not a Bengale/China. I do not see the leaves, nor the plant, or the diameter of the flower.

Two more photos from L'Hay's files added. Looks like 'Bella di Monza'
