The Australian "Papillon" is a tall shrub rather than a climber, with Tea-like flowers in many colours, usually carried singly or in small clusters. What appears to be the same rose has been found on a property in South Australia and given the study name “Almerta Mrs. Heggie’s Red Tea”. It was planted in a row of roses along the edge of a vineyard before 1920. Several of these roses still survive, among them ‘Maman Cochet’ and ‘Mlle. Cecile Brunner’, and their continuing presence is documented by a panoramic photograph of 1929 and an aerial photograph of 1949.

Macarthur's nursery enterprise [Camden Park] thrived and his roses were widely distributed.....Tea roses were ....brought out from England by Captain P. P. King in 1849....including the Tea Belle Emilie came on the same ship, sourced from Kew Gardens.

It is good that this fine rose ['Alexander Hill Gray']  is making something of a comeback, at least in temperate areas of Australia and the United States, and also in Bermuda, where it is known as "Soncy"

p43. It is perhaps ironic that Clark released few Teas himself, preferring to call his Tea seedlings Hybrid Teas or Hybrid Giganteas. Even ‘Busybody’, which has two Tea parents, was introduced as a Hybrid Gigantea.

The 1900 climbing sport of ‘Comtesse de Labarthe’ is floriferous and hardy, and makes a superb pillar rose or can be left to spread over larger structures. It has a magnificent flowering flush in spring and early summer, but some blooms can be found at any time of the year….

p58.  The rose known in Australia as the Tea ‘Mme. Charles’ is a large bush with long canes and masses of small-to-medium semi-double flowers in shades of pink, apricot, fawn and white.  It does not match the apricot Tea bred by Damaizin in 1864, which was described by Foster-Melliar in 1902 as “an improved strain of Safrano”.  This imposter is in commerce in Australia and elsewhere as the China ‘Duke of York’, bred by W. Paul in 1894, and overseas it is also sold as ‘Papillon’.

[This rose was sent out from Sangerhausen in the early 1980s to Rumsey Roses, NSW and possibly to world-wide nurseries, under the name Mme Charles]

p92.  "Comtesse Riza du Parc".  The rose in commerce in Australia today as the Tea 'Comtesse Riza du Parc', Schwartz, France, 1876 is almost certainly not the original rose....The rose known as "Comtess Riza du Parc" in Australia has been observed in 2007 under the name 'Madame Charles' in the United States and as 'Dr. Grill' in gardens in France.
