Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Rosa ‘Devigne’

Classified as a Hybrid Provence in the early literature.  Rivers described ‘Devigne’ as a delicate blush rose, one of the finest roses of this colour known, luxuriant in habit; an excellent pillar rose.  In The Gardeners’ Chronicle of 1847 the flowers were described as salmon white.  [Paul (1848, 1863), Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863)].

 

 

Horticultural & Botanical History

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].
