'Jean Bach-Sisley' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

Dedicated to Jeanne-Louise Marie Sisley (a.k.a. Jean Bach-Sisley) (August 5, 1864 Lyon - 1949 Saint-Symphorien-d'Ozon), poetess, great granddaughter of Dutch horticularist Jean Sisley (1778-1852), granddaughter of the breeder Jean Sisley (1804-1891).

In the USA this rose is also in commerce under the name of "Creekside Manor Tea."
From the Vintage Garden website:
"Deep pink scrolled buds open to wide coronets of clear pink creased petals. Foliage is dark, handsome and very fine. This treads the line between Tea and China but whatever you call it, it is a superior shrub for the garden. Mrs. Keays grew a foundling she called “Creekside Manor” which is identical to what we received from the Huntington as Jean-Bach Sisley. She considered this the best candidate for the real Souvenir d’un Ami, a possibility worth re-investigating. What is currently offered under that name is clearly at odds with early descriptions and illustrations."
Darrell g.h. Schramm writes: "Jean Bach Sisley (1864-1949) was the pen name of Jeanne Louise Marie Sisley. A poet, a novelist, a non-fiction writer, and the founder and host of the Lyon Poets Salon, she was well known in Lyon and throughout France. She edited an anthology of Lyon poets she wrote numerous books..."
