'Violet Crémer' rose Reviews & Comments

Another tentative reference. I think this "Creamy Violet" entry was a misreading of 'Violette Cremers'.
La gloire Belgique, poème national vol. 1 page 298 1830 Notre semis de roses ne date guères que du commencement de ce siècle. Quelques belles variétés parurent parmi nous en 1807. ... Quatre autres furent des gains du sieur Cremers. La première, la *Violette Cremers*, porte son nom. Ces amateurs sont de Bruxelles.
p.s. I have not been able to verify the name "Cremers". I have, however, found a handful of men named "Cremer" who were living in Belgium at the time.
