The Debut of the Hybrid Chinas.
We know Monsieur Éccofay of St.-Cloud and Sèvres, France, for giving us one of the greats in old rosedom, the Damask perpetual 'Rose du Roi' (circa 1916). In 1914 he offered a harbinger of a new age in rosedom in which the best of the Orient and the best of the Occident were brought together; and he doubled its significance by naming it after a then little-known Parisian enthusiast who, a few years later, would go into business for himself and become one of the greatest figures in rose history. In 1814 Éccofay introduced the first Hybrid China named Vibert. Descriptions of these early hybrids are rare and scanty. In 1826 Louis Noisette records this rose as "large, double, deep crimson." Desportes, in 1828, tells us again about its "deep crimson" color. Prévost fils, a year later, is more forthcoming, and gives us a synonym (Reine des Hybrides) as well: "Canes, erect, out-thrust. Ovary glabrous, shortly turbinate or hemispherical. Flower medium-sized, full, regular, homogeneously purple." (It is interesting to note that this first rose commemorating Vibert is the same purplish crimson color as the last one commemorating him in his era, 'Souvenir de Pierre Vibert', Moreau-Roberts's 1867 Mossy Remontant, which, while rare, still exists). The new group was underway.
