Description and history. In the rose literature of the last century, Agathes were considered a distinct group or section within the Gallicas. Writing in 1846, the nurseryman William Prince cited the characterisitics of Agathes as "curled foliage, and pale colored, compact flowers, remarkable for their crowded petals." These roses, mentioned in Les Roses, were popularized in eighteenth-century France… over 160 of all the roses at Malmaison were Gallicas; of these, one-fourth were Agathes. By the beginning of our century, the number of Agathe roses … had increased to 63. Today only a few… remain.

Vibert (France) 1839 or before. Description. At the center of each rich deep purple-crimson blossom is a large boss of gold stamens.
