    The rose at the Heritage is not only not red, but it reblooms too.

    It also has Damask hips. It's even planted in the Damask Perpetual row rather than the Hybrid China row. It's obviously not Alphonse Maille, but can anyone figure out which DP it is so we can replace the plaque with the incorrect ID?

    How does it differ from 'Quatre Saisons'?

    It always seems to have a button eye, and the leaflets are more elongated.

    I think that rather than clutter up the 'Alphonse Maille' file, we should move the photos out into a file of its own, pending identification. Is there a "study name" that we can use?

    This is a found rose that was distributed by The Huntington. John MacGregor is credited with this attribution.

    To which picture do you refer?

    This is a found rose to which this historic name has been attributed. I agree that the rose pictured here does not match descriptions of the original, whether light red, red, or purple red.
