According to a 1971 reference (Jeune Afrique) the rose Persepolis by G. Truffaut (see other 1971 references) is the yellow-orange one, i.e. the very double!
The 1986 Persepolis by Kriloff (that according to the references has only 25 petals) appears to be the pink one of the two depicted in HMF..

In 1971 in Persepolis there was the 2,500 year celebration of the Persian Empire and the “paysagiste versaillais” G. Truffaut was in charge of the flowerbeds (L’Express 1971, page 66). The same magazine reports, at page 36, that the rose Persépolis was "invention du pépiniériste versaillais Georges Truffaut" (see reference)

According to the 1971 reference this rose was bred by G. Truffaut.

There might be two roses with the same name: a 1971 by Truffaut and a 1986 by Kriloff. Also the photos in HMF appear to depict two different roses.
