'Monsieur Joseph Hill' rose Reviews & Comments

-
The 1913 Biltmore Rose Catalog says, "A pink Rose, salmon-shaded, the outside of the petals tinged with copper. The fragrance is delightful, and the flowers are produced very freely. The blossoms are large, of fine shape and gracefully poised. The buds are long and open slowly, with flaring effect as the petals unfold. A compace, small bush in stature, with leathery foliage, growing vigorously and well. This variety originated in France, and sprang into favor in America almost as soon as introduced. The plants are not susceptible to blight and will endure many hardships. It is considered by many the type of all "Fancy" roses."

1924 Hazlewood Bros., Nursery. NSW P22. Mr. John M. Jolles (H.T.) (Van Rossem). Frau Karl Druschki x Joseph Hill.
2001 Old Roses: The Master List p496. Brent C. Dickerson does not list ‘Mrs. Joseph Hill’. P485. ‘Monsieur Joseph Hill’ (Pernet-Ducher, 1903) is listed. P493 ‘Mrs. E. G. Hill (Soupert & Notting, 1905) HT. is listed
I suspect there may not be a ‘Mrs. Joseph Hill’. If there was, she may have been a Mme.
The name of the rose is probably as per Helpmefind - ‘Mr. Joh M. Jolles’ with the pollen parent ‘Monsieur Joseph Hill’.
