Adelaïde de Rothschild (1853-1935) married in 1877 Baron Edmond de Rothschild
Baron Edmond de Rothschild is famous for his Exbury Hybrid Rhododendrons (note Edmund with a "u").
In September 1998, the Montreal Botanical Garden (Le Jardin Botanique de Montreal) carried out a survey of its roses' resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust. This is one of the outstanding varieties which showed a 0% to 5% infection rate. The data was taken on well-established roses
Steven emailed the following information about this rose: This rose is one of 'Peace's many offspring, and was introduced exactly 100 years after the Hybrid Perpetual 'Baroness Rothschild'. It is named after the wife of Baron Edmund de Rothschild.
