» English Description
Berlèse, 1843, Iconographie, vol.3, pl.240: The flower is 9-10 cm across, full rose, regular, imbricated from the centre to the circumference, of a cherry red, deeper at the circumference than the centre and marked with bands and broad lines of soft rose. The petals are in 6-7 rows. Those of the first two rows are large, rounded, notched and veined; those of the next rows are long, becoming smaller towards the centre. They are divided vertically by whitish bands and stripes. Ridoli, 1848, Catalogo delle Piante, p.8: Perfect imbrication. Outer petals rounded, inner acuminate. Vivid rose, slightly paler in the centre. All petals almost divided in half by white stripes. A modern listing by Onillon, Angers Catalogue, 1937, p.3 as ‘Marie Antoinette’: Imbricated red. Could be a self red sport. Originated as a seedling in Italy by Ridolfi. Orthographic variant: ‘Marie Antoinette’. Orthographic errors: ‘Maria Antionetta’, ‘Maria Antonetta’, ‘Maria Antoinette’, ‘Maria Antionetta’, ‘Marie Antonietta’, ‘Mariantonia’. Synonym: ‘Marie Antonietta Nova’.
