An erect-growing shrub, with thick, rounded leaflets. Flowers full double, quartered, with a button eye, with the outer petals reflexed when the flower is fully open. The flower is marbled, crimson, veined and marked with purple. Introduced by Vibert in 1845. In 'La Rose de la France'(1998), Francois Joyaux remarks on the luminosity of the flowers, and that the introduction of this rose coincided with the publication, in Paris, of 'Abelard' by le comte Charles de Remusat. Abelard himself died in 1142, and Heloise in 1163. Photographed at the François Joyaux’s Roseraie de la Cour de Commer near Mayenne France. | ||||
