Does anyone know who the Edmond Proust was after whom the rose was named? A cursory search on Internet didn't turn up anything.

Why did you put your question under R. wichuraiana? I'll respond further in 'Edmond Proust'

Oops. I wasn't paying attention, that's why. I had been looking at parentage of 'Edmond Proust' earlier and forgot I wasn't still there.

Enumeratio plantarum in Japonia (1879)
Franchet, Savatier
(548). Multiflora. — Adde synon. : R. Wichurae K. Koch Wochen. 1869, n. 26 (non R. Wichuraiana Crep. ad speciem sequentem pertinens);

The authors identify Wichurae K. Koch as a synonym for Multiflora; they regarded Wichuraiana Crep. as a synonym for Luciae.

Thank you, this is confirmed by other references, too. We will change the synonym.
