Can someone please move the 1880 reference from this record to the rose 'Jeanne d'Arc', where it belongs? I can't edit or delete references that I didn't add originally (and perhaps I can't even edit those?).

Done and we will see about updating your access level. Thank you.

Thanks. That will allow me to split the record for Suzanne Marie Rodocanachi, since there were 2 HP's with similar names confused in commerce.

THE COMING RACE OF ROSES.
T. W. G.
Myriads of seedlings have been raised from Gloire de Dijon, many inclining more to the Tea-scented type, as Belle Lyonnaise, &c, until now comes the white Etendard de Jeanne d'Arc, which at a little distance looks like the ghost of a Souvenir de la Malmaison. This seedling therefore affords an additional indication by reverting to a Bourbon type that the supposition, founded on its external characteristics, of Gloire de Dijon having been a hybrid between a Tea and a Bourbon was well grounded, and this may serve as an argument in favour of reasonable deductions of a similar kind in other cases.

Unfortunately, this name is now associated with the French National Front, a nasty racist/fascist organisation

A history lesson:
"Étendard" is the French word for "standard," as in, "banner." During her trial, Joan of Arc testified to the effect that she loved her banner much more than her sword. She is often depicted with both.
