NOTES ON THE NEW ROSES
page 150
Madame Marie Finger has been selected from the seed-bed of Rambaud, a raiser quite unknown to rosarians here ; but as it had the distinction of a first-class certificate conferred upon it at the Lyons Congress, and was distributed first by Lacharme, few doubts need be felt as to its merits. The habit is said to be vigorous, the flowers
large and globular, and the colour bright flesh colour, approaching to carmine in the centre.

The nature of this rose is still mysterious. The reference you quote says that Rambaux's rose is the same as that assigned to Lacharme. Later references however state that Mme Marie Finger is a synonym of the earlier Mlle Eugénie Verdier by Guillot. Now this might be another case where two roses were arbitrarily declared synonymous, but some more research is needed.
