Notes:

Two of the earliest Scotch Roses were called 'bicolor' or two-coloured; this record is for the smaller, single or semi-double rose. For the larger, more double rose, see Large Two-coloured Scotch, which may be the same rose as 'King of Scots'.
Renamed 'Claire de Jousselin' by Pronville in 1828.
