'Comte Boula de Nanteuil' rose Reviews & Comments

I have grown both cvs. in the past. I think 'Belle de Crecy' has more white at the base of the petals (I mean the upper sides of the petals - both have pale reverses). And the leaflets of 'Boula de Nanteuil' are more narrow. Both appear to have the sort of mottled colouring that is associated with virus, which makes the form and colouring of the flowers rather variable.

To me, it seems very similar to Belle de Crecy. To be honest, MUCH TOO similar.
I suspect it's the same rose, or maybe a slight colour variation. Anyone has opinion?

A question justified, because 'Belle de Crécy' in commerce and in gardens seems certainly not to be the original rose, but a misidentification from the 1940s. Maybe someone has both roses in the same garden and can comment.

I have both.I bought belle de crecy and marie tudor(different selllers).planted them side by side.marie tudor turned out to be a second belle de crecy.it would be glorious if my boula de nanteuil turned out to be my third belle de crecy.almost makes me wonder whether I might have yet more belles de crecy lurking in my garden.
