....The Rose Blanche Unique, or White Provins, was discovered by Mr. Daniel Grimwood, of Little Chelsea, nurseryman ; he was on a journey of business in the county of Norfolk, in the month of July, 1775, when riding very leisurely along the road, he perceived a Rose of great whiteness in a mill; he alighted, and on close inspection he discovered it to be a Provins Rose; he then sought an interview with the inmate of the mill, who was an elderly female; he begged a flower, which was instantly given him ; in return he gave her a guinea. In cutting off the flower he cut three buds; he went to the first inn, packed it up, and sent it direct to my father, at his nursery, Little Chelsea, who was then his foreman, requesting him to bud it, which he did, and two of the buds grew ; in the following autumn he went down to the same place, where for five guineas he brought the whole stock away; he then made an arrangement with my father to propagate it, allowing him 5s. per plant for three years; at the expiration of that time he sold it out at 21s. per plant, my father's share amounting to upwards of £300. Mr, Grimwood sent the old lady at the mill a superb silver tankard, &c, to the amount of £60....H. Shailer
