Rosa ‘Madame Bois’
Hybrid Perpetual.  ‘Madame Bois’ was described by Paul as a fine light rose colour, in the way of ‘Victor Verdier’.  [Paul 1903]. ....
 
History at Camden Park
Included in a handwritten list of roses dated 1861, probably intended for a new edition of the catalogue that was never printed.  [MP A2943].  The handwriting is very indistinct but ‘Marie de Bourgogne’ was listed in an 1863 notebook belonging to William Macarthur.
 
Notes
Another possibility is Rosa ‘Marie de Bourgogne’.  This is classified by Rivers as a Perpetual Moss rose.  The Perpetual Moss roses, so called because they would give some sort of autumn flush of flowers under good cultivation, were a new group in 1854.  ‘Marie de Bourgogne’ was said by Rivers to be a good and distinct rose of this class, but no description was given.  [Rivers 1854].  The handwriting in the 1861 document is very indistinct but ‘Marie de Bourgogne’ was listed in an 1863 notebook belonging to William Macarthur.

Rose Madame Bois. — It is surprising that such a lovely Rose as this should remain so much in
the background. I consider it one of the very best of the numerous progeny of Victor Verdier. Its colour is a pure pink two or three shades deeper than that of Mrs John Laing. It is of good sturdy habit, and altogether a first-rate variety either for exhibition or for garden decoration, and its beautiful bud almost rivals that of Mrs. W. J. Grant.

New Roses.
Madame Bois (C. Levet). -- A Rose of Victor Verdier race, but fragrant, more vigorous than the type, and producing most freely very fine flowers of great depth, and with a magnificent petal, bright, fresh salmony-rose colour. A novelty that has been greatly admired in the garden in spite of the bad weather, and from which there were cut many beautiful blooms early in June.
