Gallica Rosebush has magnificent fragrant flowers, whose petals are almost see-through and of a combination of colors: the ones in the centre are bright pinkish color and the external ones are pale white. The flowers came in groups of three to five. The foliage is dense and green having an imposing port, but of regular size, reason why this kind of rose is indicated for gardens of small or medium dimensions.
The duchess of   Angouleme (1778-1851), first born of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette was a woman of great personality  who had great political influence either over Louis XVIII, King of France (1814-1824) and Charles X, who succeeded his brother on the throne of France until the Revolution of 1830.
