[From the article "Notes on the Origin and Evolution of our Garden Roses" by C. C. Hurst, first published 1941 in the "Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society"]
When the ever-blooming China came and was considered sufficiently hardy to plant outside about 1810, it was only natural that hybrids began to appear, and in 1815 the first two Hybrid Chinas came to light. ....The second was one of Descemet's 10,000 seedlings rescued by Vibert, when the allied armies marched on Paris, and as known as 'Zulmé' or 'Bengale Descemet'.
