Louis Joseph Ghislain Parmentier , born the August 9th 1782 with Enghien, with the Austrian Netherlands (current Belgium), deceased on April 1st 1847 with Brussels, is a Botaniste and Belgian Rosiériste .
He married the Marie-Desired on July 4th, 1818 with Enghien Pletincx de Lumay 1795-1868, of which he had a son, Gustave (1819-1840), died without posterity.
Louis Parmentier is known to have created a garden of more than 3000 varieties of pink S in Enghien, and to have created him even more than 800 varieties, doing of him all at the same time one of the largest collectors of Europe, and one of the obtenteurs of most prolific pinks. It is that to which wanted to testify the monument drawn up in the park to Enghien in 2000.
Among the varieties of this obtentor, one knows “Félicité Parmentier”, “Désirée Parmentier” (of the name of its wife), “Hector Parmentier” (of the name of its godson and nephew), but also “Cardinal of Richelieu”, which was réattribuée to him only recently, or “Beautiful Isis”, whose crossing with “Dainty Maid” made it possible David Austin to obtain in 1961 “Spry Constancy”, first of the English pink so popular nowadays.
