Centifolia... 'Le Rire Niais' (Du Pont, before 1810)
Newsletter (Nov 2014) Page(s) 19. Includes photo(s).
A rare rose indeed is the centifolia introduced before 1810 by Andre Du Pont, one of Empress Josephine’s garden advisors and rose suppliers. This rose is called ‘Le Rire Niais’—Foolish Laughter or The Foolish Laugh. Nothing seems laughable or foolish about this rose. A thick circumference of unevenly pink petals surrounds the wide center of red and dark-pink petals around an eye of yellow stamens. The plant is virtually without prickles. Unfortunately—and it’s no laughing matter —worldwide no one sells it anymore.

Le rire niais, centifolia, Dupont, dans les Roses de Redouté

Le Rosier à cent feuilles fleurit en juin et juillet; quelquefois, mais très-rarement, il donne pour la seconde fois quelques fleurs à l'automne. On ignore le pays dont il est originaire: quelques Naturalistes soupçonnent qu'il est indigène de la Perse ou de quelqu'autre contrée de l'Asie. Il est très-commun dans tous les jardins.
Var. 15. Rosa centifolia ingrata.
Rosier à cent feuilles, à odeur ingrate, ou rire niais, de Dupont.
Fleurs roses de dix-huit à vingt lignes de largeur, composées de quatre rangs de pétales: leur odeur est peu agréable, elle approche un peu de celle de la punaise.
