Thank you! It seems that there were two 'Aménaïde': One an earlier damask or gallica (or hybrid thereof), reported by Desportes and Hardy; and a later Bourbon which has been more successfully distributed.

A few new Bourbon roses, adapted for pillars, or for forming large standards, have lately been introduced. Amenaide is a rose of this character, with large and robust foliage, and large and very double flowers, of a light rose-colour.
