I think it is probable that the rose has been out of production for some time, especially since it is not in J&P's current listings. Hence, not in HMF's database. Whereas the ARS database includes all roses that have been registered, whether anyone now grows them or not.
Black Cherry, Shining Hour and the 'other' First Edition roses are all Floribundas, which kind of puts them out of the running. The last rose's proper name is Huguenot 300 in the ARS database--but the hybridizer is French and the rose may have been given other names in other markets.
Might Mary inquire of J&P if they have a picture of the rose in their archives?
