After a recent conversation with Rev. Doug Seidel, this rose labeled 'Jeanne d'Arc' at the Huntington is most likely the rose mentioned as "St. Leonards" by Mrs. Keays in her 1932 ARS Annual article "Old Roses in Calvert County, Maryland":
"Were there others somewhere? We went hunting. While we have not found another Faded Pink Monthly anywhere, our hunting has been good. We have one with white flowers coming in great clusters, pure white under the sun but often opening with a deep rose-colored, small, sharply marked center made by the rosy shanks of the petals. The books say Aimée Vibert is pure white. So be it. We are calling the white rose "St. Leonards" as we got it near the St. Leonards post office."
