Rose Listing Omission
St. Tropez
This plant is not missing. The problem is that I am unable to add it to my garden list because it doesn't come up in that search unless I use a different name.. Thanks.

It could be something to do with the full stop. Have you tried selecting Tropez, using ENDS WITH.

I was looking for this rose this year during bareroot season but it seems to be quickly disappearing from commerce already. What a shame — this rose is a sleeper. Why does Meilland introduce multiple new varieties indistinguishable from one another back to back? Pink Flamingo suffered because it couldn’t pull forward from the pack. However, this rose is glorious planted in Northern California shade! The color glows instead of getting washed out, the large abundant blooms are on long cutting stems, and the plant makes a healthy bush. Grab it while you can….

This author cites Laffay as the breeder.
Pearson's Encyclopedia of Roses, (1956) pg. 172
Cardinal de Richelieu (R. gallica hybrid)
Rich velvety-purple blooms, large and with plenty of petals. Fragrant. Makes a strong, bushy plant. (Laffay, 1840.)

Yes, 20th century authors state Laffay 1840, however, the earliest references from the 19th century attribute it to Parmentier. François Joyaux in "La Rose de France" also has Parmentier as the breeder. We have added this reference with the explanation of the error.

I believe that these photos should have been uploaded to the other 'Prince Regent' rose record. This record is for a large, scarlet gallica, and your photos appear to be of a modern shrub rose.
The photos are lovely; please let us know if you need help moving the photos.
Best regards,
Virginia

Thank you both for your comments.
I would have uploaded the photos under the 'Prince Régent' if I had found it from the beginning.
I'm going to do it now, better late than never !
Best regards,
Alice

I think the photos are probably in the right place now! Your lovely rose is definitely not a very double Agatha (Gallica) Rose.
The Genesis shrub rose doesn't have much of a description available, but what there is seems to be a decent match for your photos...
Thanks for sharing them with us,
Virginia
