» English Description
Verschaffelt Catalogue, 1848-1849, p.46 as ‘Duchessa di Berry’. No description. Verschaffelt, 1855, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book IX, pl.III: Its blossoms could be taken for a white rose, full bodied and of the largest size. Mr Aug. Van Geert received this variety in 1851 from Count B. Lechi, Brescia, Italy. It is thus of Italian origin. However it is named for a French noblewoman, so the French orthography is given precedence. It is a creamy white, large formal to rose form double of 9-10 cm across with waved, heavy textured petals. Occasionally reveals a few stamens when fully open. Leaves light, glossy green, about 7.5 cm long x 5.5 cm wide. Medium, compact growth. Orthographic variant: ‘Duchessa di Berry’. Orthographic errors: ‘Duchess de Berry’, ‘Duchesse du Berry’, ‘Duchesse de Perry’, ‘Duchesse de Berri’, ‘Duchess de Berri’, ‘Duchesse de Berrii’, ‘Duchesse de Bery’. See also pl.147, The Floral Magazine, 1864, vol.3 for illustration. A sport of 'Mrs. Abby Wilder'.
