The Rose de Meaux is a miniature Cabbage Rose which differs from the Old Cabbage Rose only in the smaller size of all its parts. There is a good coloured drawing of this Rose in Redouté (1817) under the name of Rosa Pomponia or Rosier Pompon. This rose is an old inhabitant of French gardens, but its precise origin is not known. Miss Willmott (1912) suggests with good reason that it may have come from the garden of Dominique Seguier, Bishop of Meaux (1637), who was a great cultivator of Roses in his day. In any case, wherever it arose, there can be little doubt that it originated from the Old Cabbage rose and probably as a bud-variation. Aiton (1789) mentions two 'Rose de Meaux' as varieties of R. provincilais Mill. (i.e. R. centifolia L.), viz. 'the Great dwarf Rose', which is no doubt the Spong Rose (R. provincialis hybrida) of Andrews (1805), a half-dwarf; and the 'Small Dwarf Rose', which is clearly the 'Rose de Meaux'. Both these forms are figured by Miss Larance (1799) under tt. 31 and 50 respectively.
