Hopefully the family can get it back one day.

I missed the info about what had happened to it. Yes, may it be there waiting for the family when they can go back.

'Alister Clark' finally snuffed it, and I don't want another one. It's just too nasty to work around. Not sure if the parent 'Marjory Palmer' is equally fangsome.
'Comtesse du Cayla' also snuffed it, and is probably worth replacing at some point.
'Gruss an Teplitz' died some time back, and was a rather nice rose. Should get another one sometime.
'Marie Lambert' is looking like it might snuff it. Definitely worth replacing.
'Mister Lincoln' snuffed it .Also worth replacing. Look into other red stinkbombs too.
'Mutabilis' snuffed it, and 'Old Blush' was conquered by the multiflora rootstock. Probably worth getting replacements at some point.
'Perle d'Or' is also kaput and would be worth replacing. Ditto for its sport 'Ravensworth'. Both of these are really nice roses and are worth having.
''Rose Hedge Cottage Pink ROR'' is kaput too, and offhand I don't remember being particularly impressed by anything about it. If I can't remember I probably don't need it.
'Safrano' and 'Souvenir de St. Anne's' also snuffed it. Both are superb roses and well worth replacing.
'Sœur Emmanuelle' is gone too. It had good scent but (IMO) nothing else in its favour.

"Rose Hedge Cottage Pink" has the ability to produce flowers of different colours, ranging from dark pink to almost white, at the same time. They have a satiny sheen. In my previous minimal-prune garden it got huge, about 8m across, and a couple of people say it wants to be a climber. Probably just as well you lost it!

Correct spelling would appear to be 'Billiard et Barré', which represents the nursery firm of Alexandre Billiard and François-Félix Barré at 6 & 20 Rue de Chatenay, Fontenay-aux-Roses, France.; see pp. 58 and 64 of the Journal of the Société Nationale de France, vol. XXI, 1899.
