There may be a 10 year discrepancy in the bred date of ‘Ducher’. Refer the 2012 reference which indicates it was bred before 1859.

Patricia, did you also notice the photo of the tag that David Elliot posted from Parc de la Tête d'Or, Lyon France? At least 1865.

I didn’t notice that Lee H, but thank you.
As a ship carrying this rose was despatched from London in 1859, I have changed the bred date from 1969 to before 1859.

If you please, the 1859 tale seems exceedingly dubious to me, at least concerning this white rose named 'Ducher'. We see references positively asserting its obtention by Ducher (see Jamain and Forney, Les Roses, 1873 p. 150, and Revue de l'Horticulture Belge 1887 p. 156, for two instances). Is 'Ducher' actually recorded contemporaneously as in England before 1869? I suspect there is some confusion here somewhere along the line.
