Allie (or Alice) Vibert Douglas, (December 15, 1894 – July 2, 1988), who usually went by her middle name, was a Canadian astronomer and the first Canadian woman to become an astrophysicist. Life Douglas was born in Montreal, Quebec, on 15 December 1894.

His store was close to the rosarium of Empress Joséphine's rose hybridizer, André Dupont, in the rue du Four in Paris, from whom he became interested in breeding roses. In 1812 he sold his hardware store. Soon afterwards, in 1813, he purchased land in Chennevières-sur-Marne for a nursery, where he hybridized roses, fruit trees, and grape vines for raisins. He married Adélaïde Charlotte Heu (? – 1816) in 1805, with whom he had three children: Aimée, Adélaïde and Théodore. When the pioneering rose hybridizer Jacques-Louis Descemet (1761–1839) was forced to leave his nursery after invasion by the British following the Battle of Waterloo, Vibert absorbed Descemet's nursery stock, 10,000 rose seedlings, and hybridizing records.
