Growing in the path which borders the oldest row of graves, is a low growing French Gallica rose Antonia d'Ormois.....

‘Antonine d’Ormois’/’Antonia d’Ormois’ = Gallique. De haute stature (jusqu’à 1m80), mais jamais dégingandé… peu épineux… feuillage abondant, d’un vert clair s’assombrissant peu à peu… fleur d’environ 6cm de diamètre, coussinet rond ou nid de pétales en coquillage, d’un rose nacré doux pâlissant au soleil brûlant. La floraison, un peu timide, ne débute guère avant juillet, et le parfum est un enchantement… Vibert, France, 1853.

Antonine d'Ormois Vibert, 1835.
Habit: attains 1.50m, but with difficulty; Habit is less upright than the gallica-type; branches quite lanky; few slightly hooked prickles; very few bristles. Foliage: few, dark; small pointed leaflets, almost lanceolated; Bloom: not very floriferous, in pairs or by 3; medium size or small; double, quartered; small greenish yellow buton-eye, exterior petals reflexed; long sepals. Colour: flesh-pink, pinkish white outer petals. Fragrance: very weak.
Sources: Berger, catal. 1842; Laffay, catal. 1841; p.11; Van Houtte, catal. 1842. and following; Verdier, catal. 1844, no. 212; Vibert, catal. 1836, no. 850....

Vibert, who obtained it in 1835, stated "carnée" [flesh] in his 1836 catalogue and classed it as "Provence". Laffay in 1841 describes it as "pale flesh-pink, full, medium size, globular, beautiful". Certainly it is beautiful, but with such a pale pink, one has to question ist classification among Gallicas.
The name "Antonia d'Ormois" under which it is listed in contemporary bibliography and commercialized is erroneous.
