A branching stem carries only buds, no open flowers. Each deep pink bud is wrapped in long, feathery sepals and held on a bristly stalk, and large leaves of broad, toothed leaflets spread below. Engraved lettering reads Rosa Evratina and Rosier d'Evrat, with the painter's, printer's and engraver's credits beneath; an inventory number is written at lower right. Pierre-Joseph Redouté painted this rose for the third volume of Les Roses (1824), with text by Claude-Antoine Thory, and Langlois engraved it.

Thory describes a very vigorous shrub up to ten feet tall, with few prickles, whose flower stalks and long calyx tubes bristle with stiff, gland-tipped hairs. Its buds open rather rarely, he wrote; those that do show seven or eight rows of pale pink, fairly fragrant petals. The rose was named by Bosc for M. Evrath, a distinguished amateur who had received it from Dutch nurseries under the name Muscade noire.

Thory considered it a hybrid, sharing traits of the white, downy and Frankfurt roses, and Bosc thought its vigor made it a good stock for grafting. It is in the Médiathèque intercommunale Pau-Pyrénées in Pau.
