Climbing growth habit? No hint of climbing potential here.

That is what one of the references claims. In this case, it would mean that 'Marie d'Orléans' at Sangerhausen in Germany can climb. We will check with someone who knows that specific rose.
The description provides a picture of the rose as it is historically known. It can happen that the variety in commerce does not comply with this. This is usually a case for further investigation.

The rose in commerce in the USA, known for the quilling of the petals in the heat of summer and a fine copper Tea, does not climb. I suggest preserving the Reference with the description of "climbing," while describing the plant as growing up to 5 or 6 feet. The largest I've seen is a robust found plant in the Historic Rose Garden of the Sacramento Old City Cemetery in California.

The true identity of the current 'Marie d'Orléans' at Sangerhausen seems questionable. Also 'Marie d'Orléans' from Guillot seems to be very similar to 'Souvenir d'Auguste Legros' from Loubert. Another case for a transatlantic comparison! We will try to find an original description by Nabonnand.

marie d'orléans and souvenir d'auguste legros from loubert seem to be the same variety. same blossoms, sharp an slender prickles, mostly 3 leaflets of rounded eliptical shape with pronounced short tip are caracteristic.

I'm trying to find a very old version of a no care vineing miniture rose. My Grandmother had a country fence beside her house that was covered in them. They were never pruned or treated with anything and grew furiously. She lived there in the mid to late 1800's and I saw them when my father took over the house and property. The house was located in Southern Illinois. Any ideas?

Climbing Cécile Brünner was my first choice also. I have one climbing a stucco pillar that is now being trained to arch around the ceiling of one of my patios. I hold up the soft canes with small metal cups/discs that adhere with household silicon as to be easily removed if necessary. I also paint them the same color as my stucco so they aren't shiney and visible. There is a small loop on the outer part of the disc to thread through a long garden twist-tie, garden tape or string. Works great!
