A Bourbon rose introduced by Soupert et Notting in 1877. Full, open red fading to purple flowers, well scented, growth upright bushy, once blooming. From the Luxembourg nursery that would have been celebrating its 150 birthday in 2004. It produced hundreds of roses, many of them still in commerce. There are two other roses with this name.
