Notes:
Rosa belgica Mill. Gard. dict. ed. 8, Rosa no.17: 1768.
Rosa belgica Mill. is today seen by botanists as a synonym of Rosa x damascena Mill. However, the descriptions of Miller are quite different re habit, number of leaflets, fragrance, sepals, bloom form. It is probable Belgica was actually a hybrid damask. Modern Roses says it was a alba-canina hybrid.
The term 'White Provins' / 'White Province' / 'White Provence' seems to have been attached to various roses over time.
