Rosa ‘Eclatante’
A Moss rose. The flowers are a deep even pink, large and double, well mossed, the form expanded, on a vigorous shrub with large foliage. It forms a good standard.
Horticultural & Botanical History
Paul considered it a fine, showy rose. Rivers considered it ‘a moss rose quite worthy of notice, for it is so vigorous in its growth, that it soon forms a fine tree: its colour is relatively bright.’ [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888), Rivers 1863, GC p.413/1863].
History at Camden Park
Included in a handwritten list of roses dated 1861, probably intended for a new edition of the catalogue that was never printed. [MP A2943].
Notes
The writing is difficult to decipher but the name is probably ‘Eclatante’. Not to be confused with a Hybrid Perpetual rose of this name, with bright rose flowers, changing to violet red with age, introduced in 1863.
