Pompon de Bourgogne Rose
Rosa centifolia ‘parvifolia’
This dwarf variety, also known as Burgundian Rose, is an ancient cultivar. Among the items in Philadelphia nurseryman Bernard McMahon's catalog, it might possibly be the dwarf rose noted by Jefferson at Monticello and Poplar Forest.
Gallica roses are among the most ancient, and this miniature centifolia form was introduced into cultivation before 1664. It is also known as the Burgundian Rose (R. burgundica). Philadelphia nurseryman Bernard McMahon lists Rosa centifolia v. Burgundy in The American Gardener's Calendar.
In Bloom at Monticello is made possible by support from The Richard D. and Carolyn W. Jacques Foundation.
