Corrected parentage. Regarding breeder, early reference attributes it to Delbard-Chabert. In patents it is often the owner of the company who is mentioned as the inventor, not the actual breeder. In this patent it is stated that Georges Delbard "propagated" the rose. See also many patents of Kordes, Meilland, Tantau for similar "inventors" who were not the breeder.
