GÉNÉRAL TARTAS
Tea. Good, reliable rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. ..small and spreading habit.... Bernède, 1860 [Huntington i.d.]
Blush-pink with deep rose-pink, the guard petals rose red; these are large flowers profusely produced on a strong bush. Having grown this for many years and labeled it as it was identified at the Huntington, Mme. de Tartas, we are now fairly certain that [Général Tartas] is the correct name for this superb garden plant. ... In Australia this is grown as Souvenir d'un Ami, but there the real Mme. de Tartas we believe is correctly identified."
