Next to Perle is another Tea known locally as "Solitaire" because of its habit of producing one bloom to a stem. It has been tentatively identified as 'Catherine Mermet' (1869). The bud is slim and tapered compared to the fat stubby bud of Perle' [des Jardins]. The flower is double, flesh coloured with the slightly ruffled edges tinted lilac pink; it has a subtle fragrance, the foliage is medium green. This is an excellent rose for house decoration but it does have the habit of becoming mottled during wet weather. If the rain keeps up the bloom eventually looks quite pink.

I have.... an unknown China which fits the description of 'Fabvier' (1832) but for me is not as double; it has a sweet fragrance.
