The scent of this rose has a substantial component of Myrrh.

Until now, most of my seedlings of this rose are susceptible to mildew... Alas!
Maybe that's why there is just one unique descendant known on HMF.

Seedlings! And there was I thinking it might have been sterile. Well done Jay-Jay - mildew or no.
I note Mr. Viraraghavan used 'Easlea's Golden Rambler' pollen for his 'Lanjique Rose'.

Not at all sterile!
Even now, lots of OP hips (still in good shape) linger on the plant, while the flower-buds will burst into blooming soon.
Will take some photo's, when there are new hips on the plant. Didn't realize it was special, for I had lots of them every year.(relatively big and in a beautiful mix of colours, like Berberis thunbergii in fall)
Maybe it needs "special" pollen from specific roses and those might happen to grow in (or in the surroundings of) my garden.
Maybe it's just sheer luck... or just no-one tried before.

Per the patent:
"This new variety of rose is the result of definite breeding work carried on by myself and is a Hybrid Wichuraiana."
Its obviously part Pernetiana, too.

My guess is R. wichuraiana x ‘Mrs. Wemyss Quin’ (a 1914 HT/Pern) because he mentioned the latter rose in his 1932 advertisement for ‘Easlea’s Golden Rambler’ and a black and white photo of ‘Mrs. Wemyss Quin’ on HelpMeFind shows similar leaves.

Seem likely, which would make this Wich, Pernet, and Tea!

No descendants known for this rose, but out of a big heap of OP seeds one seedling emerged.
2014-04-07 Another seedling!
