Two more China class roses are also located just outside the main group, between the China Roses and the Tea Types. 'Mme. Laurette Messimy' and 'Mutabilis' (C9 and C23) also have the same haplotype as OG3 [R. odorata var. gigantea]. The parentage of 'Mme. Laurette Messimy' also includes a Tea Rose parent on one side, and a Tea Rose grandparent on the other...which is in keeping with ita location based on the SSR data and the haplotype.

Martyn Rix. China Roses.
'Mme. Laurette Messimy' (1887) and 'Comtesse du Cayla'' raised by Guillot in 1902, share the same parentage, said to be ('Rival de Paestum' x 'Mme. Falcot') x 'Mme. Falcot'.  This makes them two thirds Tea and a third an unusual pale China.  'Rival de Paestum' is a small, almost white rose, often classed as a Tea, so by parentage both should perhaps be classed Teas.  In Comtesse du Cayla the leaves are bronzy, the flowers coppery orange and pink, reddening as they age, especially in full sun. Its scent is also reported to be good, not usually a characteristic of Chinas; the flowers are semi-double and open rather flat. Mme Laurette Messimy is paler, pinkish with yellow centre, and loose, quilled petals.
