Rosa centifolia (Provence Rose, Cabbage Rose, Rose des Peintres) This, the original Centifolia rose, has been known since the early 17th century. It makes a lax bush up to 1.6 m high, with varied thorns, lush, coarsely toothes leaves and drooping, richly scented flowers, borne singly or in large bunches.

Examination by plant cytologists in recent years of the chromosomes of R. x centifolia prove beyond doubt that it is a complex hybrid and not, as previously thought, a true species. Apparently the Centifolias are made up of genes from R. gallica, R. phoenicia, R. moschata, R. canina, and R. x damascena.

Rosa x centifolia L. - Syn. R. gallica centifolia Regel, R. provincialis Mill. pas d'autres auteurs.
Noms communs: rose à cent feuilles, rose de Provence (appellation à supprimer), rose chous (de "cabbage rose" des Anglais).
Hybride d'origine complexe.
Haut. 1,80 m - Feuilles: 5 folioles habituellement, ovales arrondies.
Ses aiguillons assez irréguliers sont, en partie, transformés en poils en glandes. De ceux qui restent, les plus forts se tiennent rassemblés; presque droits, ils ont la base peu élargie. Les folioles, relativement grandes, un peu molles, sont très vertes et retombantes. Les fleurs sortent de boutons courts, entre juin et le début d'août, bien roses chez ce type d'espèce, plus foncées, cependant, au centre de ces multiples pétales serrés et courts enclos par les pétales plus longs du pourtour : mais oui, la rose de Rosa x centifolia est une rose "en creux". Elle a un parfum inégalable, doux, sucré et puissant, littéralement captivant, surtout lorsqu'il fait chaud, lorsque le soleil l'aspire des replis de la corolle. On reproche à ces corolles de se tenir constamment inclinées : leurs pédoncules, en effet, sont faibles et elles se placent à plusieurs dessus. Tout se penche chez Rosa x centifolia, les fleurs, les feuilles et aussi les tiges qui résistent mal au poids des fleurs. Mais l'on peut pallier ce port plereur des tiges en plantant serré et en taillant d'une manière particulière...
Autres détails: les rachis toujours dépourvus d'aiguillons, les sépales étalés, jamais récurvés mais persistants, les fruits, peu nombreux, ellipsoïdes ou presque ronds. Telle est la description du type de l'hybridation. Les autres hybrides appartenant au groupe des rosiers à cent feuilles ont soit de grosses fleurs comme chez le type, soit des fleurs moyennes, soit de peities fleurs et ce sont alors des rosiers pompons.

Rosa centifolia and hybrids. Our current centifolia "from Holland" - so-named as Dutch gardeners first supplied it until the beginning of the 18th century - is especially valued for its fragrance. Already Clusius doubted in the 16h century that the so-called hundred-petalled rose, which is mentioned by Theopharst and Plinius, is identical to today's centifolia. This latter was, it seems, only described in the 16th century. One cannot find any trace of this rose - neither in the sculptures of gothic cathedrals, nor in the paintings of the Middle Ages.
C.C. Hurst ascertained that R. centifolia is not a botanical rose, but a hybrid of four roses: R. gallica L. - R. phoenicia Boiss. - R. moschata Herrm. and R. canina L. - Empress Josephine had in her garden at Malmaison over 250 varieties.
The centifolia is also called Provence-Rose. This name is confused until today repeatedly with Provins-Rose. The Provins-Rose is however as well-known a R. gallica and not a Centifolia.
The centifolia forms handsome shrubs of up to two meters. The double blooms are white to dark red and are on long stalks several together. Blooms: June-August.
