In the past this rose was sold as Comte de Chambord but the real Comte de Chambord rose (Moreaux/Robert) has been lost. So in rose circles the consensus is that Comte de chambord doesn't exist anymore and that the rose being sold as Comte de chambord is Mme Boll. But many people use the old name but it's time to call this beauty Mme Boll.
