Notes:

There was more than one Gallica called 'Enfant de France'; this rose is of the Agatha type with a small to medium, full, pink flower. Another 'Enfant de France' is considered a synonym of 'Roi de Rome'; confusingly, there was also more than one Gallica by that name, and they are confused and confusing.
