For the Les Roses cultivée à L'Haÿ en 1902 reference, you might want to put a "[sic]" after the quoted "rouge liséré bleu"; it does indeed say that, but it's obviously a blunder by the original typesetter or copyist for "rouge liséré blanc."

My plant is completely exposed to the sun all day, grows great, long canes and repeats almost continuously. It has never died back in the 6 years I have grown it. It gets some disease but is vigorous enough to grow through it. Its main fault is that it flowers only on the tips and would probably be better if trained horizontally as a climber. It also has a good perfume. Mount Macedon, Australia.

Always defoliates completely during the season.
Every year some canes die, but every year new-ones come.

I'm glad it generates new canes for you. I tried this and nasty old Roger Lambelin years ago. Both were addicted to every fungal issue that came along in the mid desert. And, neither wanted to push new growth, no matter what I did or didn't do for them. They both became "mulch".

Thanks, Kim!
For now, it can stay where it is/as it is. Maybe it will turn into mulch another season.
It behaves a little bit better, when the weather isn't as erratic as it behaved this season...
And it benefits from a regular spray with sulfur and or silicium.(water-glass/sodium-silicate or Equisetum-tea or liquid manure made of Equisetum)

Thanks, Jay Jay, you're welcome! I guess you're more willing to spray because your climate requires it to be able to grow most roses. Where I grew them, many didn't require spraying, so I didn't spray, period. Those demanding it didn't hang around long. This new climate requires it much more than the old and I'm still refusing to spray, making selection more of an issue, but it is, so far, worth the effort. I hope all is good with you and yours!
