Never knew or seen, that the flower-buds and flower-stems were so glandular.

If you gently rub the flower stalks they have an agreeable resinous apple scent.

Being a Hybrid Multiflora, how well does this rose tolerate alkaline soil?

At my place it does well at PH 7-8.
I must admit, that I use peat and compost in its surroundings, but also gets ground limestone/calcium once in a while.

How Roses Come By Their Names

The naming of a Rose is not always a mercenary transaction and the human side of life sometimes attaches a beautiful meaning to it. The French hybridizer Turbat had been awarded a certificate of merit at the Contest of Bagatelle during the war in 1916 for a hardy climber. According to the rules the award could not be final until the variety was named. While Monsieur Turbat was looking up the requests he had for a new Rose, the story was related of a young officer, the Comte de Feligonde, who had been seriously wounded in battle and left between the lines in No Man’s Land where none would venture to fetch him. His wife, Ghislaine, a Red Cross nurse, hearing the plight of her husband, started at night, found him, dragged him to safety and nursed him back to health. Monsieur Turbat, moved by the story of the heroic woman, decided right then to name his new Rose Ghislaine de Feligonde.

What a moving name origin, this year of the centenary of the breakout of WWI.

A 2002 study conducted with the Pelissier de Feligonde family shows that Ghislaine was 4 y/o when the rose was named after her.

Don't you just hate it when historical facts get in the way of a charming story?
Thanks for the update.

Don't confuse me with the facts! Fact or fiction, I like the story and the rose.

Does a white Ghislaine de Féligonde exist, any-one knows of?
.... Or is this "just" another rose?

A white/pale yellow Ghislaine might be her momma: 'Goldfinch'.

Reply #2 of 8 posted 5 JUL 15 by Jay-Jay
I was already wondering, after I read Mr. Quest Ritson's Books, if it wasn't Goldfinch as a second guess.
The flowerstems of both of them are bristly and those glands/prickles have the same scent when rubbed.
Thank You for strengthening/supporting me into that direction.
It (Goldfinch) could be found in neglected and older gardens.... Tadaah!

Goldfinch and Ghislaine de Féligonde are in my old neglected garden. Open photos to see which is which in the photos.

Reply #4 of 8 posted 5 JUL 15 by Jay-Jay
That was what Mr. Ritson wrote (as I recall).
Why not planting it in (tidy) new or landscaped gardens?
The people of the specimen on the photo's cherish their rose... and boast about it.

Goldfinch is said to be near-thornless. Does that help?

Reply #6 of 8 posted 6 JUL 15 by Jay-Jay
Ghislaine can have almost thorn-less stems too.

Thank You for the good comparison photo's Patricia.
They took for me just bud-wood without the leaves, no flowers and just buds to compare. Later on came the photo's. I'll be able to compare when the budding succeeded.

I budded a rootstock with it on June 13 and lo and behold:
