I've noticed that the Climbing Bell Siebrecht is listed with the discovery by William Paul. However, a New York Times article debuted the flower by Henry Siebrecht of Rose Hill Nurseries in New Rochelle, New York in 1895. The flower is named after his daughter, Isabelle Siebrecht. For over 25 years, I lived on the Siebrecht property. I have a copy of the article.
Please feel free to reach out to me.

Please see the note to the rose 'Belle Siebrecht' and the references. The rose was bred by Alexander Dickson in 1892 as 'Mrs. W. J. Grant', but introduced in USA in 1895 as 'Belle Siebrecht' by Siebrecht & Wadley / Rose Hill Nurseries. The climbing sport of 'Belle Siebrecht' was discovered years later in 1899 by William Paul's nursery.
