Do you mean 'Louise'?

If 'Louise' I would question how a rose which has been extinct for a century would appear now in Sangerhausen. Marita's photos from Sangerhausen show a single centifolia as a "found" rose. I am asking myself whether this is a sport/reversion which appears from time to time.

I have been looking for an answer to this question for a long time. There is actually a connection between Josephine de Beauharnaise and the Seeon Abbey / Upper Bavaria, where I found this rose
More precisely, this rose was brought to me in 2014 by a farmer who lives in Guggenbichl, less than 2 km from Seeon / Upper Bavaria. This monastery was bought in 1852 by Amelie, a daughter of Prince Eugene de Beauharnaise / 1st Duke of Leuchtenberg and son Josephine de Beauharnais ‘. Since Amelie's only daughter dies early, the monastery falls to Amelie's nephew Nicholas. I was able to trace the origin of the simple centifoil back to around 1927. At that time the rose was in the garden of Bibiane Oberhofer, who had worked as a young girl for the Leuchtenbergs in the Seeon monastery. According to reports from her family, she had received the rose from the Leuchtenbergs and planted it in her own garden. From there this rose wandered through different hands to Guggenbichl.
It will probably not be possible to finally clarify whether this rose comes from Josephine's collection or is a chance seedling. Whether an old garden directory from Seeon can still be found in the Leuchtenbergs archive would be worth a visit.
There are no more old roses on the monastery grounds today. However, there are still numerous R. X damascena Celsiana in many gardens around Seeon. This could indicate that other roses have also found their way into the neighborhood from the monastery.

Thank you for this interesting history of provenance. As Dupont's 'La Louise' is not mentioned by Prevost, Boitard and other authors, and Otto/Nietner declare it later to be afull rose instead of single, I believe that the existing single centifolia is a new reversion/seedling, not a clone of Dupont's original plant.

I asked the owner for one more layer to give it to Sangerhausen, cause I thought it should be there.

I mean Rosa centifolia simplex, "Louise" is one of its synonyms

as a reference for this rose Nietner's book "Die Rose" is namend, published 1880. But the Centifolia "Louise", mentioned on page 72 is described as Full. Seems as if we will have to cancel this reference.

As I understand your point, the synonym 'Louise' for the single centifolia is incorrect and should be separated.

No, I think only Nietners book should be removed.

We do not remove references, even if they are incorrect. The history of older publications is also enlightening. The centifolia 'Louise' needs more research.

We have added further references, especially showing that Dupont obtained the single 'La Louise' from seed of a semi-double centifolia before 1805, and that Hardy considered it in 1837 a synonym of centifolia simplex.

There are two found roses, one from Finland (Pikkala), one from Germany (Johannes Jena). I grow both roses in the rosegarden of Trostberg and they are completely identical. I'm becoming more and more convinced that this rose may be the lost centifolia D'Auteuil.
C. Nickels describes D'Auteuil 1845 in his book; Cultur, Benennung und Beschreibung der Rosen, on page 50 as:
"Prächtig, guten Geruch. Blkre. lebhaft und stark rosenrot, oder bläulich rosenroth, zu Zeiten etwas punktiert, bei 4 Z.br. gefüllt, abgeplattet gebaut; Stamm, Stblätter. und Dorne, sind mehr jenen der gallischen Rosen ähnlich."
This discription matches with my studies of the roses. Who ever is interested and wants to compare the found rose with the descriptions of D'Auteuil can view the page on hmf about "Pikkala", or visit our Rosegarden in Trostberg Bavaria.

Hallo Marcir, hast Du nach wie vor die "Margherita Croze" in Deinem Garten? Meine musste vor zwei Jahren wegen Umbauarbeiten "ausgelagert" werden und hat diesen Umzug nicht überlebt. Heute habe ich Nachricht von Sangerhausen bekommen, dass deren "Margherita Croze" der Trockenheit zum Opfer gefallen ist. Jetzt hoffe ich, dass Deine wenigstens noch lebt.
Lieben Gruss

Marita
