It seems all photos are of a different rose than this rose.
Please check photo fro the GRANDES ROSERAIES du VAL de LOIRE - ORLEANS catalogue cover. 1975
Nana Mouskouri
Nouveauté 1975. illustrée en couverture.
Les amateurs de belles roses seront ravis par cette nouveauté plutôt basse (environ50cm),très florifère et très indiquée pour bordures et massifs nains I Les jolies roses de taille moyenne, assez doubles, aux pétales épais et solides, surprennent par l'intensité de leur coloris rouge vermillon saumoné aux reflets brillants. Et ce qui ne gâte rien, elles dégagent un parfum fort et délectable.
Red vermillon salmon color, strong perfum
If you want a precise translation,let me know :-)

I am at a loss to explain that catalogue description and cover photo. I have added a few more references and the 1974 and 2008 references in particular seem to indicate that a rose named for Nana Mouskouri, just had to be white.
But perhaps there was another breeder who wanted to name his red vermilion salmon rose after Nana Mouskouri, and was beaten to the punch by Dickson's white rose. What exactly was the year of the catalogue (and page number while we're at it)?

Note typo on page: His son yook over in 1870,
Year: Someone has written on the catalog, 1974-5.
Photo: Cover
Description on page 3
No mention of hybridizer.
Do you want me to send you the pdf document?
It feels like one of these glossy color catalogue, on the gaudy side.
Here is an aprox. translation of the text above, feel free to correct!
New variety for 1975
Lovers of beautiful roses will love this novelty, rather low (approx.50cm), floriferous and very suitable for borders and dwarf beddings. Midsize roses, rather double, with petals thick and strong, surprise by the intensity of their bright red salmon color to shiny reflexes.. with a strong and delectable scent.

I am not familiar with her music, but Nana Mouskouri has song Les roses blanches de Corfu (The white roses of Corfu) and The white rose of Athens, which makes sense why the rose could/should be white....

For some reason my original post has been deleted. And I'm not able to put it back.
I'm re-posting it here.
