Lloyd Chapman.    Instead of Alberic Barbier.      
Francois Fouchard is a result of a cross between Rosa luciae, a rose almost identical to, and often confused with Rosa wichuraiana, and the coppery-red Noisette rose L’Ideal.    This cross produced four ramblers altogether;  three with apricot-pink blooms:    Paul Transon, Elisa Robichon, and René André,  and without even a hint of its Noisette parent’s red colouration,  Francois Fouchard,  a beautiful semi-double lemon rose with lemon-yellow stamens.
