Condit Monograph
Rose Noire (syns. Cuou DE Muelo, Rolandine Noire, Ficus carica rosa nigra Risso). Described by Garidel (1715), La Brousse (1774), Bernard (1787), Lamarck (1817), Risso (1826), Duhamel (1809), Noisette (1829), Couverchel (1839), Eisen (1901), and Simonet et al (1945). See Rolland (1914) for synonymy of Cuou DE Muelo. Illustrated in color by Duhamel; Black and white by Eisen and by Simonet. The original description by Garidel stated that growers knew this variety as Cuou DE Muelo, a Proveni§al name, apparently referring to the distinctive neck of the fruit. Bernard and all later writers refer to it as Rose Noire. It is ranked as one of the better figs of Provence. The following account is after that of Simonet.
Leaves medium, deeply 5-lobed. Breba crop none. Second-crop figs pyriform, medium in size, up to 2-1/4 inches long and 1-3/4 inches in diameter; average weight 40 grams; neck not especially prominent; stalk short; ribs not much in evidence; eye slightly protruding, small, closed, scales violet; skin thin, checking lengthwise at maturity; color bronze, tinged with violet; bloom pruinose; pulp amber to light rose; seeds small, not numerous; quality very good.
