    Should ‘Detroit’, ‘;Michigan’, ‘Michigan Perpetual’ and ‘Perpetual Michigan’ (http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.33029.3&tab=1) be merged with
    ‘Perpetual’, ‘Purpurea’, ‘Perpetual Pink’
    (http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.33032.0)
    The 1844 reference for ‘Perpetual Pink’ mentions a synonym of ‘Perpetual Michigan’.

    Art. II. Descriptions of Mr. Feast's Seedling Rubifolia or Prairie Roses. By the Editor.
    Perpetual Pink.—Synonyme. Perpetual Michigan. Flowers, medium size, rosy purple changing to rose, cupped and very double, resembling in shape the multiflora. Clusters, large, containing from ten to twenty blooms; foliage, nearly smooth, very dark green; spines, rather strong and thick, forming quite a pubescence on the peduncles of the flowers; growth, vigorous. How far this will prove a perpetual bloomer remains to be tried; we saw it flowering a second time in Mr. Feast's garden, in Oct. 1843, though its habit of continual blooming may be quite uncertain.
