This may be the same as Calvert's Hybrid China, 'Duc de Wellington'.

During the 19th century (and rarely into the early 20th), Damasks roses were classified as Centifolias. For example,

Richardson: Roses in India (1855)
The Madras rose, or Rose Edward, a variety of R. centifolia, Gul ssudburuk, is the most common, and has multiplied so fast within a few years, that no garden is without it; it blossoms all the year round, producing large bunches of buds at the extremities of its shoots of the year; but, if handsome, well-shaped flowers are desired, these must be thinned out on their first appearance, to one or two, or at the most three on each stalk. It is a pretty flower, but has little fragrance. This and the other double sorts require a rich loam rather inclining to clay, and they must be kept moist.

Calvert's rose might well be another China x Autumn Damask.
