Old Blush A lot of interesting information about this rose... here are some excerpts... Look in any old graveyard, especially in the southern United States or in the Gold Country of California, and you are almost certain to find 'Old Blush'... This rose survives so widely because of its ability to root and grow from the tiniest slip or cutting taken from a bush. It thrives anywhere except in very cold areas... It became a great favorite because the flowers would bloom in spring and come again for the fall... 'Old Blush' also became known as one of the great stud roses...

Page 33: Monthly Rose ('Chang Wei') An early record of the rose in China dates from the Han Dynasty, when the Emperor Hanwudy (c. 140 BC) judged the Monthly Rose (Chang Wei) to be more beautiful than the smile of his most esteemed concubine. This rose, frequently reproduced on porcelain and silk, appears very similar to our 'Old Blush China' of today.
Page 128: In the Taj Mahal gardens [roses] are grown in formal beds alongside rectangular canals, but in an area to one side, possibly a nursery, [the author] found quantities of 'Old Blush China', darkened by incessant sun.
