This is a Tea by breeding. I looked up Winnie Davis to see why she had two roses named for her.
"Varina Anne Davis (June 27, 1864 – September 18, 1898) was an American author who is best known as the youngest daughter of President Jefferson Davis."
There are some lovely photos on-line of her.
The climber is a sport of this rose, not Nanz's HT, but it is pinker in descriptions than the bush form.
I was interested in it as a possibility for "Bishop's Lodge Ah Mow", given the similarities between that rose and "Kombacy Marianne", which is thought to be Mme de Watteville (pollen parent of Winnie Davis).

Thank you, Margaret. I just learned a little American history…courtesy of an Australian.

Margaret, I can’t help on “Bishop’s Lodge Ah Mow” as I no longer grow this rose, but I will respond further in the ‘Winnie Davis Climbing’ file on the colour of the climber
