Rose Surpasse Singleton. 'Surpasse Singleton' in the Napoleonshöhe, 'Schöne Singleton' in Schelhase 1825. It cannot be established where this name came from. [The name refers to 'Singleton's huindred-leaved rose', which was obtained prior to 1775 and apparently known to Schwarzkopf].
In his "Nomenclator botanicus hortensis" Dresden and Leipzig 1840, Heynhold names a garden variety 'Hundredleaved Singletons' and a cabbage rose 'Cent feuilles de Hesse'.
In Simon/Cochet it is named as a gallica, with the synonym 'Belle de Hesse', which once more points to Wilhelmshöhe (see Plate 5).
In his "Catalogue descriptif", Rouen 1829, Prévost gives the following synonyms: 'Belle de Hesse', 'Surpasse Singleton', 'Illustré', 'La Triomphante', 'La Prédestinée', 'La Glorieuse', together with the description: "Fleur moyenne, pleine, rose lilas, souvant nuancée purpre clair."
Gravereaux too lists this rose in the plants at Malmaison, with the synonyms.
Jäger gives this rose as a lilac-pink cabbage rose. If we look at today's gallicas and cabbage roses, there is clearly no comparable rose to be found.
