There's an excellent early 'portrait' photograph of 'Mme de Watteville' here at this site:

https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:z890ss02q

I've written to the institution asking for permission to upload the photo but at this stage they haven't given a definite answer. If they do say it's OK I'll certainly post it here.

It is a very distinctive style, you can understand what they mean about it being called the 'Butterfly Rose' with those large reflexed outer petals.
For what it's worth, just looking at all the photos of 'Kombacy Marianne', it really doesn't seem to be the same as Mme de Watteville'. Well, no one has posted opening buds looking like this, in any case.

It is a beautiful plate HubertG.
I can recognise those outer butterfly petals in the plate - and in many of the photos on HelpMeFind.

OK, you'd know better than myself. I haven't grown it. It just didn't look like it overall to me from the photos.
There's also a few good plates of Mme Hoste (probably the best I've seen) so I do hope they let us upload them.

Maybe someone could post some photos of Kombacy Marianne in that early bud stage showing that formation in the Lincoln photo.

John Hook identified "Kombacy Marianne" as being the same as the Mme de Watteville from the Fineschi collection. I don't know the provenance of the Fineschi rose.

I suspect that this 'Mme de Watteville' photographed by Edwin Hale Lincoln was a florist grown rose that he purchased for the occasion. The other roses he photographed in a similar fashion were Perle des Jardins, Sunset, Mme Hoste and the Bride, which all seem to be the popular glasshouse roses at the time. There is a Mrs Pierpont Morgan too - a haven't noticed that in particular being a florist rose but it was probably available. I'm only speculating here. Maybe he grew them all, but if his Mme de Watteville was grown in a glasshouse, perhaps the form shown in the photograph isn't typical of an open ground grown rose.

Just reporting in on the Edwin Hale Lincoln photograph of 'Mme de Watteville'.
They've just got back to me and unfortunately the committee who manages the collection advise that they can't let us upload the actual photos here, but are happy to allow links to the rose photos in the collection.

I'll try to link everything in the next day or so. They are certainly worth looking at.

For Info, there are versions of MDW around Europe and the States that originated commercially from Beales. This rose is almost certainly what we know as 'Mlle. Franziska Kruger'

A rose circulating in Aus as Mme de Watteville, based on an ID in Australia in the early days of Heritage Roses, is Mme Joseph Schwartz. As shown by reversion to Comtesse de Labarthe in at least two locations. See photo 85479.

And another - 'Etoile de Lyon' has also been sold under the name Mme de Watteville.

Also noted. I presume that was in Australia. Thanks.

You're right, It does look the same as the Fineschi clone of Mme de Watteville: thank you..
