Painting from 1902 illustrating the flower.
La France is a rose developed in 1867 by Jean-Baptiste André Guillot (1827–1893). It is generally accepted to be the first hybrid tea rose, and for this reason, its introduction is also considered the birth of the modern Rose.[2]
The plant grows about 120 cm high and has large, light pink flowers with up to 60 petals and a strong fragrance.
