Carmoisine. LAPmiravi 1982. red HT. Louis Laperierre (who bred roses from circa 1950-1998) Carmosine. LAPnev 1995. red HT. Robert Laperierre (who bred roses from circa 1992-2015) This last rose. LAPnev apparently was in the Monza 2001 trials.
They almost sound as if they could be the same rose? Almost the same name, same class, same colour, same family of breeders. Can anybody throw any light on these two roses? Or is anybody in touch with Robert Laperierre who may be able to help?
Hi Patricia, The right name is 'Carmosine' (Lapmiravi), bred (1st sold) 1982, see catalogue 1982 p. 13. It was sold until 1989. The 2 other names (Carmoisine and Carmousine) cannot be found in any catalogue of Laperrière. If LAPnev was in the trial of Monza, it didn't enter the market. 'Carmousine' (probably misspelled) can still be found in India. I have now put all Laperrière catalogues online: roses.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Rosenkataloge#L_fr Regards Rudolf
Patricia, these two are not the same rose. If there are two distinct breeder codes, they are different. There is also more than a decade between the two. A typical case of recycling of market names.See Kordes for example, who recycle names quite frequently.
