A slender, thorny stem sends up long, thin flower stalks. Two crimson-pink double roses hang at upper left, a third at right shows a paler center, and closed buds nod on the highest stalks. The small leaves are divided into toothed leaflets.

Engraved lettering reads Rosa Indica Sertulata and Le Bengale à Bouquets, 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 bush twelve to fifteen inches tall whose flowers come five or six together at the ends of short branches, forming a kind of bouquet, which explains the name. He gives the petals as white at the base and very pale pink at the tip; this impression is colored much deeper. Thory reports that the variety seems to have been raised from seed some years earlier in the king's nurseries at Trianon and had long been rare.

It feared frost more than any other variety of its kind, so it was grown in pots and brought indoors for the winter. It is in the Médiathèque intercommunale Pau-Pyrénées in Pau.
