Vibert presents this variety! as obtained in 1818 and commercialized the following year.

This magnificent rose is as own-root since 15 years (thus 1811) at M. Sommesson, who named it "Duchesse de Reggio". ....the merchant (Vibert) who collected the non-sold rest....gave it the name "Fanny Bias" in the catalogues where he since offers them to the public".
