When typing in Dr. Hogg in the name search, nothing happens. This rose is listed as Doctor Hogg. As Brent C. Dickerson in "Old Roses: The Master List" 2nd edition, p188 lists it as Dr. Hogg, perhaps the name might need some more attention.
Mr. Dickerson also lists the parentage as - either 'Pierre Notting' (HP) or 'Duke of Edinburgh' (HP).
No, sorry I don't. Interestingly, the man himself had a connection with Edinburgh. From BRITISH GARDENERS: A Biographical Dictionary. Pomologist, botanist, writer, Hogg was born in Berwickshire, the son of a leading nurseryman of the nearby town of Coldstream. He was originally intended for the medical profession, but an early interest in natural science caused him to turn to botanical studies at Edinburgh University
Re: la Roseraie du Val du Marne à L'Hay-les-roses spelling of 'Dr. Hoog' for 'Dr. Hogg'. Here are just a few references to the man and the rose. I believe the Fineschi collection at Cavriglia, Italy also lists it - as ‘Dr. Hoog’. I am not sure if 'Dr. Hoog' should be listed as a synonym, when the man's name was obviously 'Dr. Hogg'.

The (mis)spelling Dr. Hoog is found in the "Nomenclature..." of Simon/Cochet, from where L'Haÿ have taken most of their descriptions in the 1902 catalogue.
Dr. Robert Hogg published and edited two gardening magazines in the late 19th century, The Journal of Horticulture, Cottage Gardener and Home Farmer and The Florist and Pomologist. Many issues of both are available through Google.com/books, at least in the USA.
No, your information was perfectly all right, but it was not the full picture. Many rose names are spelled differently in different languages. The 1902 catalogue of L'Haÿ also says 'Doctor Hoog'. We would appreciate your picture taken at the Roseraie.
