| MMM, I don't really know, but in Charlotte Testu book " les roses anciennes", you can find some onfos, but is it really those roses in the novel? 3 rose had the name "Rosa pensylvanica":
rosa virginiana (R. pensylvanica Andr. non Wangeh)introduced before 1807
rosa carolina (R.Pensylvanica Wangeh.), introduced 1826 and maybe "Rose d'Amour", also called "rose de St Marc" in England, and rose d'ORSAY in France (from the Count of Orsay, around 1850-1870)
maybe it is this one in Proust...probably an hybrid between R. virginiana and R. Carolina... "it is a very attractive rose" |
