Notes:
'Narcisse' and 'Enfant de Lyon' are usually shown as synonyms, but they were probably originally two distinct roses, with 'Enfant de Lyon' slightly lighter than 'Narcisse'.. William Paul and the 1902 catalogue of l'Haÿ lists them separately. - see References. There was also an earlier 'Narcisse'.
Most probably 'Narcisse' was a noisette bred by Mansais in 1842, and 'Enfant de Lyon' a tea-noisette commercialized by Avoux & Crozy in 1859.
