'Madame Charles' rose References

Madame Charles  Imported from E-R Sangerhausen.  Identity incorrect.

MME. CHARLES, tea, good reliable rebloom, outstanding fragrance, habit: taller and more upright, but still rather light-caned and twiggy; Damaizin, 1864 [Heritage Rose Gardens] Soft blush-salmon blooms shaded peachy-yellow in the center, elegant buds and blooms with strong Tea fragrance. I had expressed doubt about the correctness of this rose, but now we are confident that it is the real MME. CHARLES. What we have grown as "COMTESSE RIZA DU PARC" for some years is the same.

Madame Charles Small One of the parents of 'Mme. Alice Garnier'

Deane Ross:  Mme Charles is an uncharacteristic Tea Rose.  The blooms are smaller, and borne almost like a floribunda, while the bush will reach over 2 metres, making it ideal as a large hedge or specimen plant. 
Magazine  (Nov 1981)  Page(s) 1. Vol 3, No. 4.  
 
Editor:  .....after a season of old roses such as I have never had before.  A few are still in full bloom as I write.  
Mme Charles is a singularly beautiful rose, a very dainty flower with a two-tone pink colour very similar to the modern HT 'Duet' but not so strident.  The elegant buds open to reveal four layers of petals and a neat boss of maroon stamens and cream pollen. As suits its lineage there is a delicious perfume.

Some recent Imports from the Rosarium Sangerhausen - Teas.
In January this year a small parcel of Old Rose budwood left the deep freeze of mid-Winter in central Europe and came by air-mail to Australia.  Among the rather scrappy, unpromising and half dead stems which eventually cleared the customs shed were the buds of seven Teas which it is hoped will eventually be re-released in Australia.  Thanks to the skill with which the Rosarium staff selected the budwood from the semi-frozen plants, and the skill with which the shrivelled buds were grafted, the plants seem to be well on the way to becoming established in Australia.
The seven NEW varieties are: 
Niphetos, Dr. Grill, Mrs. Foley Hobbs, Noella Nabonnand, Mme. Charles, Mme. de Tartas and Francis Dubreuil.
