Gardening with Old Roses
(1997)  Page(s) 70.  
 
Botzaris is a luscious, very double, muddled white flower that is as must in a big garden. 
(1996)  Includes photo(s).
 
p15   A good choice for covering a wide area, at least 15-20 ft (4.5 - 6m) would be a rambler like ‘Léontine Gervais’ which has a pendulous and horizontal habit.  
p17   A tunnel requires formal planting and detailed pruning, which means using climbers or the neater ramblers like Noisette Carnée (‘Blush Noisette’)  or ‘Léontine Gervais’.
p18  Where pillars and swags are used together, a delightful combination is to grow ramblers like ‘Léontine Gervais’ on the swags, and hybrid musks like ‘Cornelia’ on the pillars.  
p101  Léontine Gervais.  A good companion to ‘Alberic Barbier’;  habit, foliage and growth all complement each other well.   The flowers are predominantly pink, well filled with petals that have light shades of yellow at the base.   The fragrance is particularly rich, with Tea rose overtones.   When established, it seems to flower continuously, especially if deadheaded.   Introduced by Barbier, France 1903 (20ft (6m). 
p118   Ramblers on swags and pillars:   Good choices are the Barbier Ramblers, creamy-yellow ‘Alberic Barbier’ and soft pink ‘Leontine Gervaise’
p119  Photo.  ‘Léontine Gervaise’  is seen here tumbling over a low wall to give a cottagey effect.   Wires are used to established the tumbling appearance when the rose is young.   Once established, it needs no work apart from deadheading and a little shaping in winter.
