Although rose literature over the ages does not record this, I believe that the Dutch rose breeders had stock of ancient Centifolia-tvpe roses with which to work, perhaps roses pre-dating Roman times. This theory is borne from the fact that most Centifolias that have survived until now have flowers that are far too double for easy hybridization. Furthermore, the climate in Europe is said to have been colder three or four centuries ago than it is now, and breeding roses would have been difficult without much artificial heat. I believe those Centifolias that have become lost to us today were the single and semi-double forms, which would have been much easier to hybridize, with only the fully double offspring being selected for cultivation and wider distribution — as cut flowers perhaps, the main purpose for which the Dutch would have grown them.
