The Garden: An Illustrated Weekly Journal of Horticulture in all its branches, Volume 41 No. 1101 p. 554 (Dec 24, 1892) ... I will take the other instance of four synonyms that are bracketed by the National Rose Society, with a parenthetical remark that this variety might well have five. The National Rose Society gives it Alba rosea, Josephine Malton, Mme. Bravy and Mme. de Sertot, but if the best foreign Rose list is to be depended upon, it was known previously as Danzile. Later on it was sent out by Guillot as Mme. Bravy in 1848, by Pernet as Mme. de Sertot in 1859, by Lartey as Alba rosea in 1862, and later still as Josephine Malton. I do not know the introducer of it by the last name, but believe it was sent out in 1870 or 1871, that being about the date it first came under my notice. I think we may take it that both Mme. Bravy and Maurice Bernardin are among the very best of their respective classes, and hence the inducement to send them out among other new (?) varieties. The whole list might be gone through in the same manner and would yield very similar results.
