Wilhelm Kordes. My Masterpiece.
....but long before that Mallerin gave us Ami Quinard The pollen from this gave me a near black but badly burning seedling with 'Robin Hood' (Pemberton's) as seed parent. The pollen from this again on to long forgotten 'Aroma' gave me 'Baby Chateau' and here the story begins.....So perhaps 'Baby Chateau' is my real "Masterpiece".

Rosarians seem always seeking the extreme in color, size, form, and habit, wherefore Ami Quinard HT. (Mallerin, 1927; int. U.S. by C.-P. Co.), was welcomed for its long-pointed, blackish garnet bud, opening to a loose, semi-double, cupped, fragrant red bloom so dark as to seem almost black. Persistent bud-selection has increased its number of petals, and this variety is a standard of dark beauty with its vigorous, profuse-blooming plant, which deserved the honours received at Bagatelle, in France, and at Barcelona, in Spain.
