Robert Buist
Aimée Vibert, or Nevia, is a beautiful pure white, perfect in form, a profuse bloomer, but though quite hardy, does not grow freely with us; however, when budded on a strong stock it makes a magnificent standard, and blooms with a profusion not surpassed by any; this very exquisite variety was grown from seed of a rose that blooms only once in the season (Sempervirens Pleno) by J. P. Vibert, of Lonjeameaux, near Paris, who has grown many very superb roses from seed. When I visited him, in 1839, whilst discoursing upon roses, he directed my attention with great enthusiasm to this plant, and said, “Celle ci est si belle, que je lui ai donné le nom de ma fille chérie—Aimée Vibert.” This enthusiasm can be easily understood by those who, like myself, have been so fortunate as to see the two “ Aimée Viberts ”—the rose and the young girl, both in their full bloom, and both as lovely as their sweet name. In the southern states it grows freely, and is a profuse bloomer during the fall months.

Among whites, Amie Vibert is a pure little gem. Mr. Buist very eloquently describes the enthusiasm of the raiser, M. Vibert, on inviting him to come and see his beautiful seedling rose, which had then (in 1839) just shown itself, and had been named after the daughter of the raiser.

Parmi les faits donnés comme une preuve de l'hybridité, on cite la Rose Aimée-Vibert qui, dans tous les catalogues, se trouve classée parmi les Noisettes, et qui cependant à été trouvée, à ce que l’on m’a assuré, dans un semis fait avec les graines de la Rosa sempervirens.

[... raised from the seeds of Rosa sempervirens.]

The text and photos mix Aimee Vibert and its climbing sport, Aimee Vibert Scandens. The original plant is relatively compact, growing 4-5 ft tall and up to 8 ft wide. The climbing sport can grow up to 15 ft long canes.

All European nurseries offer 'Aimée Vibert' which is at least 12' tall, up to 20'. I would not know of the shrub form - does it really still exist?

Yes, the shrub form grows in the Sacramento Historic Rose Garden. We have taken cuttings from an original plant that survives in another section of the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery, which was established in 1850. Vintage Gardens catalog offers both the bush and climbing form, as well.

Would you perhaps have a photo of the shrub for this page?

Yes, I will post a picture. It will show a small bush, about four feet tall and wide. This rose is original to our 1850-era cemetery, and we have no way of determining its age. It has been severely pruned over the years - about 20 years ago, it was twice this size. The bush form of Aimee Vibert has been found in other California cemeteries. The flowers are somewhat smaller, and the plant is very remontant.

I will post photos of blossoms later on this year.

I volunteer w/ Anita at the Sacramento Historic Rose Garden. I've uploaded some photos of our bush form of Aimee Vibert. The photos were taken mid Nov 2009.
