Notes:

Jeanne Marie Élisa Bailly (1826 - March 22, 1868) French horticulturist, married in 1842 Louis Levêque de Vilmorin (1816 - 1860), French botanist.
The Peter Beales Collection of Classic Roses for 2000-2001 says Mme. Eliza de Vilmorin is one of the first Hybrid Teas and should be considered for its historical interest rather than garden value.
'Elisa de Vilmorin' in commerce and gardens is probably mislabeled (colour).
