she's off soon to Centifolia in France. I think she leaves in a few days.

How puzzling ! I know Centifolia ! !!!

I was interested in them because they are in my family town, Perpignan,and

seemed to make natural cosmetics, with centifolia, an eo I like very much,

but in fact they are not so natural (full of parabens, so not my cup of tea)

I did not know there

Centifolia ?..................I immediately think of the beautiful blowsy many

petalled roses in the works of old masters......................... the dutch

introduced over 200 hybrids of this particular rose species between 1580 and

1710........................genes made up from R gallica, R phoenicia, R

moschata, R canina, and R x damascena

pour example:

'Rose des Peintres' Pre-1800, 'Rose de Meaux', ' Bullata'. 'Pompon de

Bourgogne' pre-1664,, 'Nanette', 'Spong' 1805, Fantin-Latour.... I have her in

my garden which I grew from a cutting taken from a friends walled garden in the

golden valley.......very beautiful and nice perfume, 'Blanchefleur 1835,

ooh all this talk has re-kindled my love of old highly perfumed varieties.....

and prob this has nothing to do with the Centifolia you were speaking of ... he

he..
