Thomas Rivers
Duchesse d'Angouleme, or the Wax rose, is an old but deservedly a favourite variety: its colour is so delicate and its form so perfect, that it must always be admired ; the habit of the plant is most luxuriant, and rather more erect than most other members of the family.

It is interesting that the rose according to the description was raised in 1821 or ? 1835 by Vibert, but Rivers writing in 1840 already considered the rose as old. I planted it this year and it has already made strong and healthy growth.

Possibly this reference should be placed under a synonym of 'Texas Wax' in R. Indica major.
