Description


Rosa gallica is a deciduous shrub forming large patches. The slender, straight prickles are various in size and frequency in this species[1][2] The leaves are pinnately-compound, with three to seven bluish-green leaflets. The flowers are clustered one to four together, on glandular pedicels. Each flower has five or more petals, sometimes producing double corollas.[1] The flowers are fragrant and deep pink. The hips are globose to ovoid, 10–13 mm diameter, orange to brownish.



Gallica Group


Cultivars of the species R. gallica and hybrids close in appearance are considered as a cultivar group, the Gallica Group roses. Their exact ancestry is usually unknown and other species may be involved. They are easily cultivated. The Gallica Group roses share the vegetative characters of the species:



  • forming low suckering shrubs,

  • flowers can be single, but most commonly are double or semidouble,

  • colours range from white (rare) to pink and deep purple, and

  • once flowering



Apothecary's rose


Plants with semidouble deep pink flowers have been treated as either a variety, under the name R. gallica var. officinalis,[3] or as a cultivar, R. gallica 'Officinalis'.[4] It is also called the apothecary's rose, the crimson damask rose, or the red rose of Lancaster.[5] It is the county flower of Lancashire. A cultivar R. gallica var. officinalis 'Versicolor', with striped pink blooms, is also known as Rosa mundi.[6]


The names Rosa gallica f. trigintipetala or Rosa 'Trigintipetala' are considered to be synonyms of Rosa '"`UNIQ--templatestyles-0000000A-QINU`"'
× damascena.[7]



Cultivation





Rosa gallica 'Tuscany superb'





R. gallica var. officinalis 'Versicolor' (Rosa mundi)


It was cultivated by the Greek and Romans and commonly used in mediaeval gardens. In the 19th century it was the most important species of rose to be cultivated, and most modern European rose cultivars have at least a small contribution from R. gallica in their ancestry.[1]


Rosa gallica is easily cultivated on well drained soil in full sun to semishade; it can survive temperatures down to −25 °C.


The following cultivars and hybrids have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.



  • 'Beau Narcisse' (Mielles <1824)[8]

  • 'Belle de Crécy' (Roeser 1836; withdrawn)[9]

  • 'Cardinal de Richelieu' (Parmentier <1847; withdrawn)[10] - this rose was used as a starting point for genetic engineering to produce the first blue rose

  • 'Charles de Mills' (<1790)[11]

  • 'Complicata'[12]

  • 'Duc de Guiche' (<1810)[13]

  • 'Duchesse de Montebello' (Laffay 1824)[14]

  • 'Président de Sèze'[15]

  • 'Officinalis'[16]

  • 'Versicolor' ('Rosa mundi')[17]

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy...
