Rose: La Chevette.

Dans un article paru le vendredi 6 juin 1952 dans le quotidien, 'L' Aurore"; on trouve cette description de "la Chevette".

"C'est une rose de petite taille, mais piquante, de couleur vive, d'une odeur prenante, une fleur légère, voluptueuse et fraiche, de ces roses que les femmes portent volontiers piquées dans la chevelure et qui y prenaient toute leur importance décorative au temps des longs cheveux et des "chignons".

"It's a small rose, but prickly, bright color, a fascinating smell, voluptuous and fresh, these roses that women wear willingly stuck into the hair and who took all their importance decorative in the time of long hair and "buns".

Thank you clienttneilc. We've added that reference.
I have had a wee search for the word Chevette, but found nothing. Perhaps others might know a little more?

Yes as it is said in french in the aurore article:
The name"Chevette" comes from the name of its rose breeder M. Hilaire Germain Chevet.

There is certainly a story there. I have added the breeder and a date of before 1789. If you find any more details about the rose please let us know.

You can buy this book on Amazon.

Le Perron de Tortoni Indiscretions Biographiques (1863) Broché – 6 novembre 2009

The book is in french but it speaks of the story of the rose breeder M. Hilaire Germain Chevet.
