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.

Blue Nile is the Best Rose Ever, The size of bloom, form, color and fragrance are unbelievable. It was at a place I rented and when I moved I bought one for my new place. It's the rose that got me started growing roses. I never thought that it would be hard to find. In both cases it was easy to grow. I do live in Santa Cruz CA where the weather is neither too hot or too cold, but it does get foggy here sometimes. Sun or fog, Blue Nile was fantastic.
