Bourbon.  

Light pink.  Strong fragrance.  Medium to large, semi-double to double, cupped bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.

Perhaps the first Bourbon...The rose cultivated in India as R. borboniana is actually 'Rose Edouard'.

[This rose was called 'Bengale Neuman' after its introducer by Péan, 'Rose de l'Ile de France' by Dubreuil, 'Rose de Bourbon à fleurs pleines' by Prévost and 'Bengale Dubreuil' by Vibert.
Boitard says it was grown from seed sent to Hardy in 1822, and later introduced as a plant by Neuman.]
