Trees and Shrubs
A division of the Camden Park catalogues that is not clearly defined. In broad terms it includes all plants with woody stems except conifers and fruit trees and shrubs.
Rosa ‘Caroline de Sansal’
Hybrid Perpetual. Very large and fine flowers, clear flesh-colour with blush edges, beautifully cupped on a vigorous shrub, but considered somewhat of a fair weather rose. [Paul (1863, 1888), Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), Henry Curtis p.27 vol.2/1853, FC p.228/1857].
Rosa ‘Celina Dubos’
Classified by Rivers as a Perpetual Damask rose and as a Portland rose by Les Plus Belles Roses au début du XXe Siécle. ‘Celina Dubos’ is a white, or nearly white rose, said to have originated from a sporting branch of the Crimson Perpetual and of similar habit to this old favourite. [Rivers (1854, 1857, (1863), Amat].
Rosa ‘Célina’
A Moss rose. William Paul describes its flowers as deep rosy crimson, shaded with dark purple, a trace of white occasionally tracing the centre of the petal; colour brilliant when newly opened, large and double, form expanded, growth moderate. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903)].
Rosa ‘Charles Fouquier’
Classified as a Hybrid Chinese by Paul who considered it to be a fine rose. It has globular flowers, reddish crimson in colour, the edges of the petals inclined to lilac, and vigorous growth. [Paul (1848, 1863)].
Rosa ‘Chénêdolé’
Usually classified as a Bourbon rose, although Paul described it as a Hybrid China in the first edition of The Rose Garden. ‘Chénêdolé’ has very large, very double, vermilion-crimson flowers of cupped shape. Very thorny, it is a vigorous grower of erect habit and makes a good standard. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863)].
Rosa ‘Cloth of Gold’
Noisette rose. Under good conditions this is a very vigorous climber, producing magnificent spring and autumn flushes of very double, lemon-yellow, delightfully fragrant flowers. It produces smaller flushes of flowers throughout the growing season. My plant is rarely without one or two flowers. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Amat].
Rosa ‘Comte de Montalavet’
Hybrid Perpetual. Seen growing at Paul’s Nursery at Cheshunt and reported in The Gardeners’ Chronicle, it had very large and showy violet flowers, not very double. [Gard Chron. 1849]. In the Floricultural Cabinet it was described as a rich crimson with a lilac tinge. [FC p.233/1848].
Rosa ‘Comte de Nanteuil’
Hybrid Perpetual. ‘Comte de Nanteuil’ has rose coloured flowers with darker edges to the petals. The flowers are large and full, cupped and perfect in shape. It is a vigorous grower. [Paul (1863, 1888), FC p.228/1857].
Rosa ‘Coupe d'Hébé’
Bourbon rose. Classified by Rivers as a Hybrid Bourbon rose. These were distinguished from the Bourbon rose by Victorian writers not only because of the parentage, typically Bourbon roses crossed with summer flowering roses, but because they follow the flowering character of the summer-flowering parent, i.e. they are summer-flowering only. In the opinion of Rivers ‘Coupe d'Hébé’ ‘is the gem of this family [Hybrid Bourbons]; in colour it is of a beautiful wax-like pink, and in the disposition and regularity of its petals it is quite unique: this, like most of the group, soon forms a large bush or tree, and is also well adapted for a pillar rose.’ [Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863)]. In my garden it produces an excellent spring flush but is thereafter barren of flowers.
Rosa ‘Coutard’
A Hybrid China rose. ‘Coutard’ is an abundant bloomer with bright rose-coloured, globular, large and double flowers, its growth somewhat pendulous. [Gore]. Paul considered it a good rose, its colour lilac rose. [Paul (1848, 1863)]. It was listed by Thomas Rivers in the Floricultural Cabinet of 1835 as among the earliest roses. [FC p.241/1835]. Charles Wood Jnr., Woodlands Nursery, Maresfield, also writing in the Floricultural Cabinet in 1841, considered ‘Coutard’ to be one of the most desirable of roses. [FC p.29/1841].
Rosa ‘Cramoisie Superieure’
China rose, usually classified as a Rosa semperflorens Willd. variety in the contemporary literature. ‘Cramoisie Superieure’ is very much like an improved ‘Slater’s Crimson China’, growing a little taller, and with a straggling habit, its crimson flowers have a very pleasant, light apple-blossom scent. To 90cm. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Amat].
Rosa ‘Cristata’
Moss rose. The flowers are rose pink, paler at the edges, often assuming a lilac tint, large and full, globular in shape and beautifully crested. The leaves are also sometimes crested.
Rosa ‘De la Reine’
Hybrid Perpetual. ‘La Reine’ has very large and globular, fragrant, glossy rose-pink flowers, tinged with lilac, and is a strong grower. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888), Rivers (1854, 1863), Henry Curtis p.1 vol.1/1850, Gard Chron. 1847, Amat].
