Le Grand Sultan Descemet was another great rose grower of the Empire period. His nursery was at St-Denis near Paris. In 1815 his nurseries were destroyed during the war and at that time he had imported or bred more than a hundred Gallicas -- in fact 109 are known. Only 15 of these remain -- this is one of them.

A FEW GOOD OLD AND NEW ROSES.—No. 1.
Karl Koch
Happening in 1837 to be at Etschmiadzin, in Russian Armenia, at the house of the Katholicos (Armenian Pope), where I was well received, he at each repast invariably placed either a Turkish or Provence Rose on my plate. The most select Turkish Roses then were the Sultan, Maheca, the Rose of Sérail, King of Persia, &c.
