'Madame Jules Grolez' rose Reviews & Comments

-
The 1913 Biltmore Rose Catalog, "Bright china-rose in color, the blossoms coming freely in large, full form. The fragrance is mild and delicate. The plant grows strong, with long, woody shoots that stand erect. Mme. Jules Grolez is a fine specimen for massing, and is frequently used in this manner. Clusters of them present a striking appearance, and there are on nearly all premises places that would ideally reflect a mass of these Roses. A long row of the sturdy plants in full bloom forms a hedge that one will long remember for its unusual and enchanting beauty, and the dainty foliage that remains after the flowers have faded."

The 1916 Dingee Guide to Rose Culture lists "Red Kaiserin Augusta Victoria" as a synonym for this rose.

As well as 'Mme. Jules Grolez' 1896, 'Barbarossa' (Hybrid Perpetual, Welter, 1906), 'His Majesty' 1909 and 'Ruhm von Steinfurth' 1920 were also said to carry that synonym.

I think we should understand it more as an epithet than as a synonym - the "Red" Kaiserin Augusta Viktoria

George C. Thomas lists a Mme Jules Grolez, Climbing, as follows: CL. MME. JULES GROLEZ. (Cl.HT.) Gamon 1911 By all odds the very best bloomer in this class for the Cen. Zone. Very good foliage. Catalogued by Dingee & Conard. Source: "Roses for All American Climates", New York 1924. p. 163 The climbing version is also mentioned in "A propos des Roses" by Maurice Lecoq, Orléans 1930
