The origins of "Agatha incarnata" are unknown. It is probably a hybrid variety of Gallica and Damask, coming from Holland. Guerrapain notes it in his Almanach from 1811 onwards. It was probably in the collection of the empress Joséphine, at Malmaison and was painted by Redouté under the name Rosa gallica "agatha incarnata", in French, "L'Agathe carnée".
