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 ‘Etna’
A Moss rose. ‘Etna’ was described by William Paul as a brilliant scarlet Moss rose with a purplish tinge, large and very double. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903)].
Rosa ‘Fortune's double yellow’
Usually classified as a Tea rose, ‘Fortune's Double Yellow’ is a very free-flowering, small climber or pillar rose, very prickly, with medium-sized, loosely double flowers which can vary from primrose yellow to apple-blossom pink on the same plant. A beautiful rose, in my garden its flowers tend more towards pink.
Rosa ‘Fortuneana’
‘Fortuneana’ is a rampant climber with scented, double white flowers, as large as those of Aimeé Vibert.. [Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), Paul (1888, 1903), Amat].
Rosa ‘French Crimson’
A Moss rose. ‘French Crimson’ has rosy-crimson, medium-sized, full and expanded flowers on a moderate, branching bush covered in red spines.
Rosa ‘Fulgens’
Gore describes its flowers as middle-sized, full, regular, very numerous, of a vivid crimson. Paul describes the flowers as vermilion red and semi-double, its habit sprawling, growing to about 1.5m. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Amat].
Rosa ‘Géant des Batailles’
Usually classified by contemporary authors such as Rivers as a Hybrid Perpetual, it is a parent of the very distinctive race of Hybrid Perpetual roses bred by Vibert. In 1888 William Paul classified ‘Géant des Batailles’ in a sub-group of Rosa indica which resemble ‘Gloire de Rosamane’, a Bourbon rose, and it is usually today classified as such. In 1903 Paul classified it as a Hybrid Perpetual. ‘Géant des Batailles’ has very large, double crimson flowers, shaded purple, expanded, on a shrub of vigorous growth, and was regarded by Rivers as the most bright and brilliant of all roses, and at the same time the most hardy and free-growing of all. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Henry Curtis p. 7 vol.1/1850, Amat].
Rosa ‘General Brea’
Hybrid perpetual. It has bright rose-crimson flowers, globular, large and full and of good form, growth dwarf. [Paul 1863, FC p.61/1855].
Rosa ‘Général Castellane’
Hybrid Perpetual. In The Gardeners’ Chronicle of 1855 it was described as a newer Hybrid Perpetual, with brilliant velvety crimson flowers, and a profuse late bloomer, not a very robust grower and of somewhat dwarf habit. Elsewhere it was described as somewhat after ‘Lord Raglan’ in type, very fine and perfect in all aspects. It was considered moderately resistant to mildew but required good soils to flourish. [Rivers 1857, Paul 1863, FC p.61/1855].
Rosa ‘General Changarnier’
Paul classified it as a Hybrid China rose. Its flowers are large and full, a purplish-red colour. [Paul (1848, 1863)].
Rosa ‘Général Druot’
Classified by Paul and Rivers as a Perpetual Moss, ‘Général Druot’ has purple, semi-double flowers, of bright crimson, and is a free and vigorous grower. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888), Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), Henry Curtis p. 5 vol.2/1853].
Rosa ‘Général Jacqueminot’
A Hybrid China rose. The flowers of ‘Général Jacqueminot’ are large and full, of a compact form and shaded lake in colour. Rivers describes it as a fine, large, vigorous growing rose, well adapted for a pillar rose. [Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Amat].
Rosa ‘Général Lamoriciére’

Thomas Appleby of the Rose Mount Nursery, York, writing in The Gardeners’ Chronicle, and recommending this rose amongst his old favourites, the summer roses. [Gard. Chron. 1857].
Rosa ‘General Pellissier’
Hybrid Perpetual. Its flowers are a delicate rose, very large and full and globular in shape. It tends to be uncertain in production. [Paul 1863].
Rosa ‘General Simpson’
Hybrid Perpetual. In selecting General Simpson as one of his best six introductions of 1858 in an article in The Gardeners’ Chronicle, Paul Ricault described it as a sweet pinkish coloured variety, rather small but very neat, blooms abundantly in autumn and is quite faithful in the way of never changing colour. This journal described its flowers in 1856 as rosy-carmine flowers, with the form and habit of ‘Louise Odier’. [Rivers (1857), Paul (1863), Gard. Chron. (1856, 1858)].
Rosa ‘George Cuvier’
Bourbon rose. The flowers are rosy-cherry in colour, beautifully tinted with light purple, large, full and of compact form, on a moderate sized shrub. The Gardeners’ Chronicle described its flowers as bright cerise, shaded pink. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888), Gard. Chron. 1846, Amat].
