Hermosa Marcheseau, France, 1840. 'Armosa', 'Setina', 'Mélanie Lemarie', 'Madame Neumann'. Occurred as a seedling with four different breeders between 1834 and 1841. Dr. Hurst called this a China-reversion. In some works 'Hermosa' is classed as a Bourbon, but it is very near indeed to the 'Old Blush' in habit and other characters. It is of a particularly bland lilac-pink, much fuller of petals - which are rolled at the edges - than 'Old Blush'. It is also much more prickly, and produces a round hep, whereas 'Old Blush' has an oval hep. It is equally vigorous but usually rather more compact, and I generally observe that it is not quite so continuous. But a bunch of 'Hermosa' blooms leaves little to be desired; their form and colour are perfect, and it is fairly fragrant. As a rule the bush form does not exceed 3 feet.

The Work of Dr. C. C. Hurst.
The Bourbon rose.
...Although from the first the Bourbon was a distinct type of Rose with its stout prickly stems, vivid rose-colored flowers with rounded imbricated petals and broad leathery leaves, various breaks occurred from time to time through segregation as well as through hybridization. Between 1834 and 1841 the China reversion Hermosa appeared independently with four different breeders, and it is unlikely that all these were due to a China back-cross....
