Notes:

There is some confusion between this rose and 'Mme. Boll'. (See references under both varieties for more information.) 'Comte de Chambord' in gardens and commerce is said to be 'Madame Boll'. See.

The Swedish Rose Society recommends Comte de Chambord for northern Sweden.

Sam Kedem says this rose blooms the best during cool weather.

When in Adelaide last year, the WFRS declared this rose to be included into their "Hall of Fame" roses. This is the description they provided.
