Gallica. Eblouissante de Laqueue; flowers dark velvety crimson, their centres almost scarlet, large and double, sometimes very double; form, expanded. Habit, erect; growth, small. A beautiful Rose, which should have a place in every Collection, though not exactly fitted for a show Rose. The flowers vary somewhat as to colour and fulness; the more double the less brilliant in general. A good seed-bearer.
