[From "The Bourbon Roses of Kostanjevica Monastery", by Darrell g.h. Schramm, pp. 18-26]
‘Comtesse de Rocquigny’ has not always flourished, nearly vanishing at least twice. It seems never to have been well known. The several distinguished editors of Botanica’s Roses in 1998 believed the rose “probably” to be “lost forever,” yet today it is sold by two rose nurseries in the United States and two in Western Europe. Introduced by a Monsieur Vaurin in 1874, the flower is white with a pale flush of rosy salmon on a tall plant. It was named for Marie Donnelly, whose people had emigrated to France from Ireland in the 18th century. She became a countess when she married the Comte Robert de Rocquigny who was of an ancient family in Normandy.
