Comparing the descriptions by François Joyaux in "La Rose de France":
Bloom:
SB: very double, petals large and ruffled, a few stamens, barmine-pink spotted with light pink
LPBP: less double, stamens visible, spotted pink, fades to light lilac, some petals have white streaks in the centre
Prickles:
SB: numerous lightly curved prickles
LPBP: some strong hooked prickles
Foliage:
SB: medium green
LPBP: light green

Thanks to your job on the gold standard book about rosa gallica(my favorite book too).
I' have both LPBDP e SB in my garden but the difference is really minimal and I have still same doubt.
Best regards.
Giulio

It would be great if you could document this with comparative photos of bloom, canes, foliage, etc.
