The Rose Amateur’s Guide, part 1, p. 90 (2nd edition 1840)
Thomas Rivers, Jun.
The Rose-coloured Banksian Rose is a hybrid, with very bright rose-coloured flowers, the whole plant partaking as much of the character of the Boursault Rose as of the Banksian: in fact, it is a most complete mule; and though it has lost a little too much caste in the shape and size of its flowers — for they are a degree larger, and not quite so double as those of the Banksian Rose — it will prove a very pretty, bright-coloured climber, and quite hardy.

I did grow this var. It appears to be a multiflora rambler. PM prone and not very attractive one without any visible influence of Banksia.
