Pernet hybridized this rose in 1885. At that time, many breeders were still not making deliberate crosses to create new roses and records were not kept regarding the parentage of a rose. Some breeders made educated guesses regarding the parentage of a rose, but the roses were open pollenated, so without records of a deliberate cross maintained by the breeder, the parents of the roses remain unknown.
