Jules Gravereaux bought Dr. Müller's Rugosa seedling collection in 1901/02 and issued them under his name.

In 1902, Jules Gravereaux's son René Gravereaux (1875-1960) married Marthe Ancelot (1881-1972), whose father Alfred Ancelot was a manufacturer of haberdashery in Paris. René Gravereaux himself became later an important textiles manufacturer.
