Notes:

In the Catalog of the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden, the breeder is listed as Vibert. Also, it's possible "Found pink-veined bush Noisette" is this rose.

Charles Quest-Ritson says the rose was named after l'Amiral de Bougainville.

From Darrell Schramm: Pierre Cochet père bred the rose named after Admiral Bougainville, who gave Cochet's father Christophe Cochet the money to set him up in the rose business. Admiral Bougainville> Christophe Cochet> Pierre Cochet> rose 'Bougainville'. All in the family, so to speak.
