Neil R. Riches. Victoria. ….the hybrid perpetual ‘Reine des Violettes. That particular (and very lovely) modern rose and the dwarf polyantha ‘Baby Faurax’ are probably the closest approaches present-day breeders have made to the colours of the “old” roses.

Dr. A. S. Thomas. These lilac lavender or mauve roses are becoming less and less pink, and to this extent, nearer to blue. However, none of them is much nearer than the old varieties such as ‘Veilchenblau’ (Hybrid Wichuraiana), ‘Reine des Violettes (H.P.) and ‘Baby Faurax’. This is because there is no dominant blue gene in any rose species.

C. H. Isaac, Victoria. There are some very lovely miniatures – ‘Cinderella’, ‘Smiles’, ‘Perla de Montserrat’ and others, but their sales are very limited, whereas the sales of ‘Pinkie, Baby Maskerade’ and ‘Baby Faurax’ are astronomical by comparison. Why is this so?
