There is a listing and accompanying photo with description and growing advice for Souvenir du Docteur Jamain on p. 252 of Martin, Claire G.,"100 Old Roses for the American Garden," (New York: Workman Publishing, 1999). I do not see this reference noted for this rose, just wanted to share the source.

We can add the reference if you have the text - this book is not in my library.

Hi, what do you need to add it, exactly, besides the citation? Also, I can upload a photo of the cover of the book or of the entry if that would help.

The book is already listed on Publications including a small pic of the cover. We would need the citation incl. page number.

Text: (1999 publication photo below) "A much overlooked selection, this Docteur catches both the eye and nose with its unusual deep color and superb perfume when in bloom. 'Souvenir du Docteur Jamain' is equally good as a shrub or trained onto a support as a climber. The bendable canes lend themselves to training onto a pillar or tripod, and you get a more easily contained shrub along with the added benefit of increased bloom. Whoever the good doctor was, he is remembered by a fine rose.
"The thin canes of 'Souvenir du Docteur Jamain' will arch out to 8 feet or more, with a nearly equal spread, and when given support they can attain 12 feet. New canes are plum-colored with oval, pointed chartreuse green foliage edged with antique bronze. The smooth gray-green mature canes carry only the occasional small red-green prickle. Round, blood red buds are produced in small clusters and open to fully petaled, ruffled, velvety crimson-to-plum, cupped flowers with bright yellow stamens at their centers. There is an occasional white streak, known as quilling, which tags the velvety texture of the petals. The fragrance is strong and sweet of Cabbage Rose perfume. Rebloom is good in spring and fall, though only intermittent the rest of the season. The foliage is prone to problems such as mildew, so be on the alert if that's a concern in your area.
"The deep burgundy tones of the loosely petaled flowers will suffer without some protection from the hottest direct sun. Try planting the good Docteur where he will spill over a whitewashed brick wall. The contrast between the wall and the deep claret and crimson colors of this cultivar will cause your garden visitors to gasp in amazement.

This rose seems to need/take ages to settle. Seven years after planting it is now developing more canes and laterals than before and blooming a lot and repeatedly. Seems to like our too dry and too hot summers, the second on a row and temps over 38°C.
But alas, due too those same weather conditions, it is (au contraire to normal) very sparse with its gorgeous scent.
