Enchantress 1904.  4 to 6 feet.  Z 7-11. R Fr dp.  The very double flowers of 'Enchantress' are dark rose-pink that fade to near crimson, with just a touch of bright yellow hidden at the petal’s base. The bush is sturdy and upright, with full, neatly shaped foliage. The freely-produced flowers have a pleasant, cool fragrance that makes an interesting contrast with the warm color. It is said that the color of this rose is "enchanting."

Claude Graves, Curator Chambersville Heritage Rose Garden.  Texas Teas.
The original planting of 30 Tea Roses consisted of the more common and easily obtained varieties. Most of these original roses were obtained from Mike Shoup at the Antique Rose Emporium in Brenham, Texas, and Mark Chamblee of Chamblee Roses in Tyler, Texas…… Included in this article is a sidebar listing the Tea Roses in the Chambersville Tea collection. Some of the most interesting roses in the garden are among the many found roses. Texas is the home of the Texas Rose Rustlers, who were among the first groups in the United States to begin an organized effort to find and preserve the rapidly disappearing “old” roses. In honor of the Texas Rose Rustlers the Chambersville Heritage Rose Garden includes a collection of many of the roses found in Texas. This focus on found roses has been expanded to include numerous found roses among the Tea and China rose collections beyond those just found in Texas.

Enchantress T rrr / fff. 1. J. Cook 1904 [Provenance: Antique Rose Emporium]   Some describe this as rose-pink, which I find quite inadequate and misleading.  It is claret-rose to rosy-lilac, reversed lilac, cupped and swirled, flat, domed.

Lewis Levy,  Spotting The Winners.
'Mrs James Williamson'  (HT), Hugh Dickson.  A vigorous and fairly free blooming Rose of a pale 'Enchantress' pink colour.  The blooms are large  but rather too heavy for the strength of the stems.  I find the colour rather washy and dull.
