Blush Tea-Scented China (Tea-Scented) [] Compare the Bermuda rose, "Spice".
This is the sweet-scented China Rose of the gardens, which was originally raised from seed by Sir Abraham Hume, and by him distributed to the public. In the French gardens it is called, the Odeur de Thé Rose. It would be well if a few more of the newly-raised varieties of garden roses possessed an equal degree of merit to recommend them to attention, or at least as permanent characters to distinguish them, as this has, at once, the most fragrant and most delicate of its tribe. Our drawing was made at Messrs. Colvill's Nursery.
