Tea Roses.
Devoniensis This distinguished variety is called by some the "Magnolia Rose". The flowers are creamy white, with rosy center, elaborately carved in appearance, and deliciously fragrant. They are abundantly produced, and the bush is continuously in bloom after the first blossoms appear. The flowers are large and full and double, and the plant grows vigorously until it reaches an extraordinary size for a Rose bush. Practically every one in the South is familiar with Devoniensis, especially under the title of the "Magnolia Rose" , and it is a universal favorite wherever known. There is not a safer or more exquisite Rose in the nursery to recommend to the amateur or professional Rose-grower. The plant begins to bloom when quite small, and it is a Rose that will soon spring into favor and esteem with everyone who grows it.

"The Perfume of the Rose" By E. M. Holmes, FLS, FES
Since attempts will doubtless be made to imitate the perfume of the most popular scented roses, it may be of interest to direct attention to those in the several groups which are remarkable for their sweetness:
Of Tea-scented roses, Marechal Niel is a prime favourite, but is a spring rose. Adam, Anna Olivier, Devoniensis, Madame Bravy and Gloire de Dijon possess varied modications of the tea odour.

Ses variétés [d'Adam] ont conservé la forme du calice et de la fleur en coupe avec de légères modifications dans la végétation, parfois plus érigée avec plus d'ampleur dans la feuillage, comme.... Devoniensis...

Rosa Indica The Tea-Scented Rose and its Hybrids. In 1810 the blush Tea-Scented Rose was introduced from China, and fourteen years later the Yellow variety was received from the same country. They have given birth to a very numerous family, some remarkable for their large thick petals; others for possessing a strong tea-like scent; and others for the delicacy and bewitching tints of the flowers. It has been said, both by French and English writers on this subject, that the Yellow, although a fertile seed-bearer, never produces varieties worthy of notice. As if to redeem its character from this aspersion, a few years ago it produced, in this country, the Devoniensis, one of the handsomest of the group, raised by Mr. Foster of Plymouth, with others from the same parent, one of which was a Noisette of a yellow cast.

General List of Ever-Blooming Roses
Devoniensis
The Charming Magnolia Tea Rose
We doubt if there is scarcely any one who does not know of the beauty of this famous old favorite.  There is no other variety like it, and none more beautiful or desirable.  If there is one variety more than another that we are partial to it is Devoniensis.  It is fine anywhere.  Planted outdoors it gives an abundance of its beautiful flowers all through the season.  The color is a lovely creamy-white with rosy centers, large, very full, and double, and deliciously scented.  This is the one Rose that should be seen in every garden.

By about 1830 the reputation of the Tea rose was firmly established; and in the next twenty years many varieties were raised : but mainly in France, though the finest of all, Devoniensis, was raised by Mr. Foster of Plymouth in 1838.
