['Lady Sackville'] was first exhibited by McGredy's in 1921... Slow to propagate, it was not offered for sale until 1930, and from then was known as 'Night'. In its day it was the deepest, most sumptuous of all crimson-black roses and its velvety tones would have appealed to Vita. Sadly, though still available in American nurseries, it is no longer grown in Britain.

Until we got these two new roses ['Charles Mallerin' and 'Tassin'], Night and 'Nigrette' were the best very dark roses procurable. The latter was usually the darker, but its blooms were smaller.

...but I have found that many of the blooms do not come up to my standard in this respect... and perhaps Night, a charming little flower when at its best.

R. Marion Hatton. An American Review of the New Roses.
Picaninny is a single Rose of deep red, shaded maroon, and a cinnamon scent. There may be a possibility in this as a breeder because of its parentage (Night x Sanguinaire). Sanguinaire is part Rugosa, and there is a possibility that Night carries a shot of Rugosa also. This may be a chance to get stamina into our weakling Pernetianas.
