Parentage:

President (tea, Paul, 1860) × Comtesse de Serenye

Notes:

Bennett always speaks of using the 'President' in his crosses, not 'Adam'. The synonmyity of these two is questionable. It is more probable that Bennett used the rose marketed by Paul in England since 1860 than the much earlier Tea by Adam.
