The 1936/1937 catalog of Ketten Freres lists Oeillet as a Centifolia and says the breeder and date of introduction is Dupont 1800. 'Oeillet' was found in Le Mans, in a crop of centifolias, later propagated by Poilpré and by Dupont. For more information about Breeder, see References.
DNA analysis has shown that 'Oeillet' is related to 'Crested Provence'. - see References.
