Oeillet Double [Translation: "Double Carnation"] Gallica. Prévost, ca. 1835. The author cites information from different sources... Striped lilac blush... Dickerson disputes the date of 1829 commonly given for this rose because he could not find it listed in Prévost's catalogs around that time.

Oeillet Double Gallica. Prévost (?) 1829 (?). Joyaux says that at that time, this rose was not listed in any other catalog but Prévosts. Even today, it is a variety that is difficult to find and if you look at the puny specimens of it growing at L'Haÿ, you'd think it was on the verge of extinction.
