'Souvenir d'Alphonse Lavallée' rose Reviews & Comments

What colour IS the real Souvenir d'Alphonse Lavalee? Is it the deep, dark, almost violet burgundy red of Erinnerung an Brod or Souvenir du Dr. Jamain,or is it the lighter red that I am seeing in John Hook's photos? Red is such a difficult colour to photograph, and different cameras and lighting influence the tones so much; I'd be very grateful if someone could give me a verbal description as well...

Niels Plougmann says that this one, photo 65187 is correct: it's the same plant as was photographed by the late James Young for a book, but it hasn't survived changes of ownership of Ruston's. Presumably the one at Thomas for Roses (also in South Australia) was the same, but I don't know whether it survived the bushfire of a year ago. I can't help with a description.

Thank you, Margaret, but I don't see any numbers on the photos,so I can't tell to which one you refer!

If you click on a photo to enlarge it, the number appears beneath it. It's one that I posted.

Thank you for your patience, Margaret. Alas, on my browser I can only see one photo of yours numbered 343005,and it only shows hips, no flowers.

This one. There's a way of finding the photo by the number, but I've forgotten how.
