Rose Edouard

At first, it seemed important to test all Edouard and Edward roses from different collections, and from different continents, thanks to generous collectors from Reunion, France, India, and, of course, my own experimental garden in Colmar. The profiles are absolutely identical for all markers of all chromosomes. These results indicate that the typical "Rose Edouard" is one and the same clone. The 'Rose Edouard and the 'Edward' rose correspond to the same clone...
...we compared the Rose Edouard with the Rose 'Four Seasons' and found for each locus, at least 50% allele identity. ...The Damask rose 'Four Seasons' is a direct parent of 'Rose Edouard'. The reblooming trait of the latter is in part inherited from this parent...
...'Old Blush' seems to correspond to the second parent. The alleles of 'Rose Edouard' that do not come from the first parent 'Quatre Saisons', all correspond to those of 'Old Blush'. If the latter seems to be a good candidate, it is nevertheless diploid! The crossing between a diploid rose and a tetraploid rose should make the 'Rose Edouard', a triploid rose! We know that the latter is tetraploid. ...in crosses of roses with different ploidies, occasional non-disjunctions are always possible. In this case, for each locus, 'Old Blush' should not simply have given half of its chromosomes to 'Rose Edouard', but all.

The Autumn Damask in turn had produced a very old hybrid, or so it is believed, the Bourbon rose ‘Rose de l’Isle de Bourbon’, in crossing, perhaps unaided, with ‘Old Blush’, the monthly China rose. There is still great mystery surrounding the original Bourbon rose which may have come from India, and perhaps before that from China

The rose investigated as 'Rose Edouard' ...came from Vintage Gardens, which is thought to have obtained the rose from Peter Beales. Microsatellite analysis showed it is closely related to 'Old Blush'.

[From "Roses in Singapore", by Tuan Ching, pp. 90-95]
p. 91-92: ...Another naturalized rose is a pink OGR very similar to'Rose Edouard', the Bourbon widely cultivated in India.

p. 95: Pink "village" OGR that thrives in the heat, similar to the Bourbon Rose Edouard, commonly called the "Damask", due to its strong scent.

A population of approximately 50,000 plants raised from mixed stem cuttings collected from perennial rose plantations at the University of Agriculture, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, and maintained in the field of the CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology, Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, India, were utilized as an original gene pool of R. damascena. Two varieties, Jwala and Himroz were diversified through selections of desirable traits (morphological/oil content) across 25,000 plants. The five elites, three of R. damascena var. Jwala, (Indica, Super jwala and Jwala) and two of R. damascena var. Himroz (Hot himroz and Himroz) were developed through field selections and maintained at the Natural Plant Products Division Experimental Farm of the Institute. Rosa bourboniana plants were collected from the Fragrance and Flavour Development Centre, Kannauj, UP, India, during 1992 and maintained at the Natural Plant Products Division Experimental Farm of the Institute....
Rosa bourboniana had the lowest oil content (0.017%)
