Horticultural & Botanical History

Raised by Dupont before 1810. 

 

 

History at Camden Park

Included in a handwritten list of roses dated 1861, probably intended for a new edition of the catalogue that was never printed.  [MP A2943].

 

 

Notes

Dickerson gives ‘Unique Panacheé’ as a synonym ‘La Felicité’.  This must be in doubt as it is not mentioned by Catherine Gore, and Les Plus Belles Roses au début du XXe Siécle gives the raiser of Unique Panacheé as Cardon in 1821 and classifies it as a Centifolia rose.  [Amat].
