From kajuta.net - Rosa 'Anna Alekseeva': Dedicated to Anna Alexandrovna Alekseeva (March 22, 1840 - July 20, 1909), daughter of Alexander Wassiljewitsch Alekseev (1788-1841), Russian industrialist and mayor of Moscow. In 1856 she married Ivan Yakovlevich Prokhorov (1833 - October 23, 1881) from another industrialist family. The young pair was in Paris end of 1856/beginning of 1857.
