I have looked for the lineage of this rose for over 10 years and I finally found it. My gut was right to feel it descended from the " Centenaire de Lourdes types".
The Canadian Rose Annual (1992) states: "COCORICO, F (Meilland int '89) (Chaook x Coppelia 76). (yb), light
yellow/bordered carmine pink, 10-13 petals."
One reviewer states: "Langlois (1 pi
1 yr 5' BC): Cream edged cherry red, very showy rose. Semi double bloom,
open form, excellent substance, large clusters. Very vigourous grower, very
wide and tall, almost a Shrub rose. Dense foliage, no disease. "
This is accurate in my experience. This rose is a beast.
Chaook may be a magazine to text translation error. I am unsure what rose Chaook is.
Edit: Canadian Rose Annual (1995) states Chaook is 'Chacok':
"COCORICO (BIRTHDAY GIRL) F (Meilland int '89 NR) (Chacok x
Coppelia 76). YB, light yellow/bordered carmine pink, 10-13 petals. Rome
GM '89, Monza GM '89, Bagatelle GM '89, Saverne GM '89, Baden-Baden
GM '90.:
