Centifolia variegata Introduced from Angers in 1845. Previously listed as 'Belle des Jardins' and 'La Rubanée'. Also known as 'Village Maid', 'Panachée a fleurs doubles', 'Dometil Beccard', 'Dominic Boccardo'. Since all these names appear to refer to gallica roses, Hillings preferred to follow Willmott (The Genus Rosa), giving it a plain botanical name. Vigorous thorny shrub up to 5' x 4'; cupped blooms in clusters, on long stalks, white, striped lilac-pink. Falls quickly, but very free-flowering. Unique colouring and quality.
