No precise origin is known for the well-known ancient rose Centifolia. It is generally regarded as a cross between Gallic and Damask roses from the late 16th century, possibly originating in the Netherlands. The hybrid spread rapidly in cultivation, and from the 17th century onward it appears in many paintings. It was noted for its large flower size and sweet fragrance. In the 18th century, botanists treated it as a distinct species; modern botanists take a different position. The name Centifolia refers to its numerous petals; some proposed it should be called Centipetala.

The blooms contain over 100 petals; the outer petals are large and eventually reflex, while at the half-open stage they curl inward to form a large pink sphere. Flowers appear singly and in clusters of up to 7 on a large, loose, and rather irregular shrub. The shoots are prickly, and the foliage is stiff and drooping. The plant shows vigor and disease resistance, roots readily, and on its own roots forms thickets. Centifolia has produced many sporulates.
