Early Polyanthas:
Mignonette (Guillot fils, 1881), Seedling of a seedling of R. multiflora 'Polyantha'; the immediate parent is probably the 'Polyantha Alba Plena Sarmentosa' one sees to have been much used in breeding in Lyon, though unreleased. [Author cites information from different sources and, in particular, an interesting entry from the breeder..] ...From thse seedlings, I further got many varieties equally dwarf and very remontant...with soft pink flowers which were full and well-formed though small [this, presumably, is 'Mignonette']; I am going to propagatea quantity sufficient to deliver them into commerce in November 1880...
