'Madge Elliott' rose Reviews & Comments

I have had a new Private Message (oh hooray) from a member in France seeking a plant of ‘Madge Elliott’. Does anybody grow this rose?
In looking at the ‘Madge Elliott’ file, I see some controversy in the references: 1972 “a technicality”; and 1966 registration “cancelled”. HelpMeFind has the parentage as (Queen Elizabeth x unnamed seedling). It is my guess that ‘Madge Elliott’ was in fact a sport, and not a seedling, of ‘Queen Elizabeth’ which was sporting crazily at that time: 1962: Shell Queen and Stadt Luzen. 1963: Fen Queen and Pearly Queen. 1964: Summer Queen, Flaming Queen snd Yellow Queen Elizabeth 1965. White Queen Elizabeth, Ivory Queen and Royal Queen....etc.
Does anybody have any memories of Dr. Roger Darvall’s rose?
