Some wetness in the first issue. Rare complete collection of this magazine whose motto, printed on the cover said: "Against silliness, the literary routine, we will defend with all our energy, without hatred of bias, without complacent friendship, what is beautiful, young and human. About this magazine, André Salmon will write in his Memories without end: "The Red Rose", a strange gazette. Maurice Magre played a leading role in principle, but legend has it that Blaise Cendrars had some influence there. In the center of the magazine there was a journalistic spirit, which the "literary" on the left did not have to worry about any more than the "literary" on the right, on the side of Magre. No one in "The Red Rose" enjoyed more freedom than I did, the freedom I had granted myself and which could be said to be the freedom to do me harm by feeding a certain column called "Criticism of Critics". Something hard underneath the smiles. It made Rachilde cry."
