It's hard to think that all the photos on this file are of the same rose. Even if photographed with a phone...

Anything within the mauve - pink range with a white centre is probably accurate. Bloom age, climate and soil would impact. The range of colour was noted on the climbing sport.

'Baby Faurax' cannot be bred by Léonard Lille, as he died in 1913 at the age of 82. Candidates for the breeder are his son Louis Lille, or the latter's son-in-law Joseph Faurax-Lille, who married Jeanne Lille in 1917 and took over the Léonard Lille grain business by 1921. The rose 'Mme Faurax-Lille' would have been dedicated to Jean Lille, the roses 'Elisabeth Faurax' and 'Louis Faurax' probably to children of the pair. 'Baby Faurax' would have been either Elisabeth or Louis.

This cultivar is listed as diploid in the paper 'Pollen diameter and guard cell length as predictors of ploidy in diverse rose cultivars, species, and breeding lines'

In it's second year now and it has exploded in blooms.
Just random observations.
There was a minor to bad bout of powdery mildew (primarily around flower buds), but no other health issues so far.
Every flower seems to set a hip, the hips only have 1 or 2 seeds each....getting the seeds out of the tiny hips is a little tricky. Seeds germinate fairly well.

From personal experience, if you want somewhat greater seed set pollinate several times. I usually do a whole truss, so the low seed count is not too much of an issue.

Just an update on the above for anyone who may be interested in the future.
Can confirm that with active pollination or outcrossing with compatible pollen (was originally surrounded by rugosa, now has china, tea's and poly's around it) that seed count per hip can significantly increase, from 1 or 2 seed to hips with up to ~12 seed. Combine that with near constant cluster flower production....it's a lot of seed.
