Named after the first line of the "Ode à Cassandre" of french poet Pierre de Ronsard (1524-1585):
"Mignonne, allons voir si la rose / Qui ce matin avait Döclose / Sa robe perdu cette vesprée / Les plis de sa robe pourprée, Et son teint au votre pareil."
(Let's go, my darling, see if the rose / at sunrise starting to disclose / its gown of crimson to the air ( has by this evening nothing shed / of that same gown of crimson red / whose shade's a match for that you bear.)
