Rosa ‘Bernard’
Classified as a Damask Perpetual by William Paul, writing in The Gardeners Chronicle and as a Portland rose by James Smith in the Floricultural Cabinet. Rivers described ‘Rose Bernard’ as a sport of the ‘Crimson Perpetual’ rose, as was ‘Celina Dubos’, otherwise known as ‘Madame Dubos’. He described it as ‘a most beautiful rose with rather small flowers, but these are very double and finely shaped, of a delicate pink tinted with salmon, and very fragrant.’ [GC 5th Aug 1843, GC p.831/1844, FC p.6/1853, Rivers (1854, 1863)].
