It's from the Sacramento City Cemetery Historic Rose Garden Sale Catalog of 2010. I can't seem to post a link as it is a PDF. It should come up if Googled.

The rose in commerce and which we sell isn't correctly attributed, It seems more like an HT. It doesn't have Gigantea characteristics which it would have as a first generation cross and is generally double, never single.

I've seen it listed as Forestville (which is carried by Burlington) in The Sacramento City Cemetery Historic Rose Garden Catalog of 2010. They have it as a Hybrid Gigantea of arching shrub aspect with full blooms.

HelpMeFind has a separate file called "Forestville Gigantea" and the photo in the Rosa Antiche Sorrosa link (in the Notes Source) shows a purple or dark red semi-double bloom. Should we merge “Forestville Gigantea” with ‘Senateur Amic’?

I wouldn't do that unless we have good side by side comparisons. We do not even have photos of FG.

The true Senateur Amic should have single or at most semi double blooms sending up canes of 10 - 15 metres, its foliage would be distinctive. In my opinion it is currently extinct

I couldn't think of any other way to share it so my profile pic is the listing from the catalogue

The catalog has used the photo of Amiroses! Probably taken in the Rosarie du Val de Marne in France. The rosarium's own images can be found under this link:
