Céline Bourbon. The Roseraie de l'Haÿ attributes it to Laffont, 1825. However, some American experts are convinced that 'Céline' and 'Fantin-Latour' are one and the same, the variety having been popular in the 1860s as an understock, hence its survival, unlabelled, in old gardens... summer flowering

[Leonie Bell's Foreword to the 1980 Facsimile edition of Henry Curtis' Beauties of the Rose includes this:]
"In his passion to succeed with certain varieties, the Tea-Noisettes in particular, against the odds of too much chilly weather, Curtis experimented with several understocks. To the short list of those in use at the time - the Dog Briar, Crimson Boursault, and River's favourite, the Manetti - he added one of his own, the Hybrid Bourbon, Céline, around 1845. Indeed, this became so popular that it lost the dignity of a capital letter and accent to become simply "the celine stock." Here was an innovation that might well be tried again, for if the name Céline is forgotten, the plant is not: it is, we believe, masquerading under the name "Fantin Latour." Even in my rather harsh climate, the almost prickle-less canes of Céline easily reach eight or nine feet, which would have made it ideal for the trunks of the standard or tree roses so in vogue by 1850."
