Oeillet Flamand Vibert, 1845. Habit: upright shrub, quite strong branches; 1,50 m high, prickles and bristles. Foliage: medium green, elliptical leaflets. Bloom: medium, double, flat. Colour: pale pink striped crimson and pinkish white. Fragrance: strong.
In his catalogue of 1845, Vibert, breeder of this variety, describes the bloom as "medium, double, mottled white and rose-red, flat". The National Society for Horticulture of France classed this rose among "Les plus belles roses au debét du XXe siècle" [publication - The most beautiful roses at the beginning of the 20th century]. Why is this "Oeillet" [carnation] named "flamand" [flemish]? Is it possibly a cultivar of the Belgian Louis Parmentier, commercialized by Vibert in 1845?

Tess Allan.  Gallica Roses. 
Oeillet Flamand is something of a mystery. W. Paul in the 1863 edition of his book The Rose Garden describes 'Oeillet Flamand' as a white Gallica rose striped with rose and lilac and it is illustrated in Rosen-Zeitung 1892 as a striped rose. In Hillier & Sons' catalogue of rose trees a pink damask is listed under this name. I bought my 'Oeillet Flamand' from Edwin Murrell of Shrewsbury and in the catalogue it is described as a "glowing pink, almost salmon Gallica rose"; the nursery has been uncertain about the name of this thorny bush for some time as, unfortunately, they have no record of its source. The cup-shaped flowers are scented, but the bright colour of the petals fades as the flower ages.
