Bred by Louis-Toussaint Charpentier (France, before 1819).

Pink, white mottling. None to mild fragrance. Average diameter 3". Medium to large, semi-double to double bloom form. Once-blooming spring or summer.

Notes:

This rose is pink, finely speckled with white; the speckling must have seemed like the speckling of a Guinea Fowl, "la pintade" in French.

It is a mystery how some writers decided this rose was a synonym for 'Georges Vibert', a Gallica introduced more than 30 years later.
