p69. Gregg Lowery. "Spice". The "Spice Rose" may well be the same as the "Sweet Rose" mentioned in early accounts of Bermuda gardens. The flowers are white with a blush of pink, and strongly scented with a spicy sweetness. Peter Harkness on a visit to Bermuda in 1979 was struck by its resemblance to Redoute's 1817 portrait of 'Hume's Blush Tea-Scented China' and returned to England with a plant to consult with others in Britain. While now the consensus is that the two are the same, recently a rose has emerged from Laos that is also believed to be a candidate for 'Hume's Blush'.

Sherri Berglund: Rose Sleuth Fred Boutin.
"Boutin Red Bourbon". Fred discovered this dark red rose in California and has also spotted it in a cemetery in Oregon. Among old rose collectors in California's Calaveras Country, it is known as the "Boxwood Bourbon", since it is overgrown by a huge plant of boxwood in the local historic cemetery.
