1845 'Fortune's Double Yellow', introduced by Robert Fortune. He wrote to the firm of Standish & Noble:
"I found this rose in the garden of a wealthy Mandarin in Ningpo where it had completely covered a wall and was a mass of Bloom. The Chinese call it Wang-jang-ve or 'yellow rose'. I sent it to the R.H.S. in 1845."
Initially, the English had only disappointments with this much-praised variety, for it was not understood for some time that the plants must not be cut back hard because they only flower on the previous year's wood.
