It was Jacques Antoine, head gardener of the Duke of Orleans, the future King of France, who took this beautiful sarmentose, vigorous rose, whose flexible branches are ideal for an arch or a pergola. The buttons rosy-purple buds open in flower, semi-folded and are of a white-pinkish-cream color, with crimson hues on the reverse of the petals. Flowering is unique, but profuse and prolonged. The foliage is dense and dark green and the plant is covered with strong spines.
Princess Adelaide d'Orleans (1777-1847) was the sister of the Duke of Orleans. When her brother Louis Phillipe, was crowned King of France, in 1830, Adelaide become one of his main advisers.
