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 ‘Luxemburg’
Moss rose. Described by Paul as a Hybrid Moss with flowers of deep crimson, shaded purple, double and medium sized with an expanded form; a vigorous grower suitable for a short pillar or as a standard. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Rivers (1857, 1863)].
Rosa ‘Madame Audot’
Alba rose. A glossy flesh colour, the edges of the petals creamy blush, large and full, cupped. It produces a vigorous bush of branching habit. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863)].
Rosa ‘Madame Bois’
Hybrid Perpetual. ‘Madame Bois’ was described by Paul as a fine light rose colour, in the way of ‘Victor Verdier’. [Paul 1903].
Rosa ‘Madame Deprez’
A Bourbon rose, ‘Madame Desprez’ has large clusters of flowers, rose coloured, shaded lilac, large and full, cupped in shape on a vigorous bush. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903)]. Graham S. Thomas considered the colour to be more purple than rose-lilac: ‘In 1831 the Bourbon Noisette Mme Desprez appeared, adding purple to the rose colour.’
Rosa ‘Madame Desgaches’
Hybrid Perpetual. The flowers are rose-coloured, of medium size, full and globular, its habit branching on a dwarf shrub. Paul considered it to be a good rose: ‘This rose is of exquisite form; the petals too, are closely and beautifully disposed.’ [Paul 1848].
Rosa ‘Madame Domage’
Hybrid Perpetual. Paul described ‘Madame Domage’ as very large and double flowers of a bright rose colour on a vigorous shrub. [Paul (1863, 1888)].
Rosa ‘Madame Hardy’
Damask rose. It has nodding, fragrant, pure white flowers, occasionally pink-tinged, and a lax habit. Its full, quartered flowers suggest that it may be a Centifolia hybrid, and Les Plus Belles Roses au début du XXe Siécle suggests that it is a hybrid of Rosa clinophylla. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Amat].
Rosa ‘Madame Hector Jacquin’
Hybrid Perpetual. The flowers are clear rose in colour, shaded with violet, very large and full, globular in shape. It produces a vigorous shrub. [Paul 1888].
Rosa ‘Madame Laffay’
Hybrid Perpetual rose. Paul describes the flowers of ‘Madame Laffay’ as large, bright crimson-rose in colour, and the Floricultural Cabinet as deep rich rose colour, superb form and showy. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888), FC p.247/1847].
Rosa ‘Madame Masson’
Hybrid Perpetual. ‘An immense rose with most regular petals, larger and more finely formed than ‘La Reine’, but of the most splendid crimson lilac colour’, according to The Gardeners’ Chronicle of 1857. ‘Too much can hardly be said, its doubleness and deep purplish crimson colour must ensure it a place in every collection’, wrote a correspondent in 1860. [Paul (1863, 1888)].
Rosa ‘Madame Place’
Hybrid Perpetual. Rose coloured and a fine shape, but Paul considered the flower too small. [Paul 1863, FC p.228/1857].
Rosa ‘Madame Plantier’
Noisette rose, classified by William Paul as a Hybrid Noisette, but it is now often regarded as an Alba rose. ‘Madame Plantier’ has medium-sized, creamy white flowers, changing to pure white. An immense bloomer, it forms a large bush or tree. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Rivers (1863)].
Rosa ‘Madame Stolz’
A Damask rose. Flowers a delicate flesh colour, changing to pale straw or white, cupped, glossy, large and full. A branching habit and vigorous grower. Rivers describes it as a pretty rose, with flowers of the palest lemon. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863)].
Rosa ‘Madame Vidot’
Hybrid Perpetual. ‘Madame Vidot’ ‘made her debut [at the great rose show at St. Johns Hall, London, July 1860] in richest white, silvery satin, and in a manner not seen to be forgotten.’ Paul Ricault, writing in The Gardeners’ Chronicle of that year. In 1858 Ricault had listed this rose amongst his best six introductions of the season, describing it as ‘a kind of pink satin silvery blush colour, and otherwise in point of shape and size as perfect as the most fastidious could desire’. Elsewhere it was described as having ‘transparent flesh-coloured flowers, shaded with rose, large and full. Paul described it as ‘a model in form, beautiful in colour’. [Paul (1863, 1888), Rivers (1857, (1863)].
Rosa ‘Madame Villermoz’
A Tea rose. Its flowers are white, with fawn and salmon centres, cupped, large and full, on a vigorous shrub. [Paul (1863, 1888, 1903), Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), Henry Curtis p.21 vol.2/1853].
