Rose: La Chevette C'est une rose de petite taille, mais piquante, de couleur vive, d'une odeur prenante, une fleur légère, voluptueuse et fraiche, de ces roses que les femmes portent volontiers piquées dans la chevelure et qui y prenaient toute leur importance décorative au temps des longs cheveux et des "chignons".
