Breeder needs to be changed: "Dinsmore, raised by George Wainwright, of Trenton, N.J., and sent out by Perter Henderson, in 1887, is remarkable for its freedom of bloom. Flowers are large, of good shape and of a crimson color with a purplish tint. The plant is of dwarfish habit, the flowers being produced so profusely as to prevent large growth. This season the flowers lost their color quickly, which fact may perhaps be attributed to the unfavorable weather," from Proceedings of the Annual Conventions, Society of American Florist and Ornamental Horticulturists, 1889, p. 32.

If I was told this was a 19th century French Tea Rose I wouldn't doubt it, that is, just going by the photos here.

The volatile components are closest to Comtesse de Labarthe and Gloire de Dijon.

That's interesting. A lot of the other Chinese roses in that fragrance analysis contain geraniol, nerol and citronellol, which this rose lacks. I do think that at least some of the rediscovered Chinese roses are likely to be old European cultivars which simply lost their name and identity over time.

Website seems DOA now. In fact, my browser (Brave) warns me to not try to enter further.
I did try the site's message system when the url worked a few months ago, but there was never a response. The shop browser was also completely vacant at that time.
