'Madame Delaroche-Lambert' (Moss). 1851. — A treasured variety on account of its good growth, shapely buds and repeat-flowering habit. Long leafy sepals, green moss. Flowers of intense rich crimson-purple, with rolled and reflexing petals. Brownish moss on the stems. 5 ft. Midsummer. Sweet scent.

May Queen (Rambler), Manda, New Jersey, USA 1898. R. wichuraiana x ‘Champion of the World’, (Bourbon). Prolific growth, somewhat more bushy than others of the ‘Alberic Barbier’ group, making dense ground cover. Leaves soft green. Flowers 3 in. across well filled with quartered petals, and often with button eye; rose pink developing a lilac tint. Green wood with few reddish prickles, 15 ft. Midsummer. Sweet fragrance.
Note: Van Fleet sent over a hybrid of similar parentage and under the same name, but the plant described is almost certainly Manda’s ‘May Queen’.

'Minima,' Miss Lawrance's Rose a miniature; flowers single, usually solitary, with flesh-coloured, acuminately tipped petals...
syn. R. lawrenciana Sweet;
R. laurentiea Andr.,
R. indica (sic) var. minima Sims, Bot. Mag., t. 1762 an inaccurate portrait showing bristles on the stems [see reference below]
According to Sweet, this rose was introduced from Mauritus in 1810....Sweet named the introduced rose in honour of Mary Lawrance, the botanical artist...
Miss Lawrance's Rose was the parent of a group of miniatures called Fairy Roses, of which Rivers had some sixteen varieties by 1837. These and other miniature derivatives of R. chinensis were sometimes known collectively in gardens as R. lawranceana or R. laurentiae.

[after asserting that R. brunonii and R. moschata became confused in Europe around the 1880's, after Crépin published a paper in which R. brunoniii was sunk into R. moschata.]

R. moschata J. Herrm. var. Nastarana Christ
[after description] Described from Iran, where it is cultivated and said also to occur wild. ...one of the two roses introduced by Paul's nursery around 1880 as R. Pissardii agrees quite well with the var. nastarana and this flowered into October. It had white, semi-double flowers, and may be the rose figured in Wilmott as var. Nastarana (Vol. I, p. 39.)
Under var. nastarana Christ mentioned the 'Gul e Rescht' or Rescht rose, a garden rose of Iran which is an obvious hybrid, with small, double red flowers, strongly pinnated sepals and toothed stipules. It bears some resemblance to the Constantinople rose (R. byzantina Dieck), which Crépin judged to be a hybrid between R. gallica and R. multiflora. The second of the two roses introduced by Paul as R. Pissardii seems to be similar to the Rescht rose.

R. 'Pissardii' The rose named R. pissardii by Carrière was found growing in Iran near Guilan on the Caspian by Pissard, Gardener to the Shah, and brought to Teheran to ornament the gardens there. (Rev. Hort. 1880, p. 314 and plate; 1888, p. 446).
This rose is usually considered to be synonymous with R. moschata var. nastarana (see above) but judging from the description and figure it was a hybrid. The broad stipules shown in the plate are quite unlike those of any form of R. moschata, and the scent of the flowers, according to Carrière, was intermediate between that of a Tea rose and R. gallica. They were single. Neither of the roses introduced by Paul's nursery as R. Pissardii agree with Carrière's description and figure.

'ORMISTON ROY' ( Shrub ) . S. G. A. Doorenbos, The Hague. Second generation hybrid from R. pimpinellifolia x 'Allard' -Small bright green leaves on a thorny bush. Flowers single, bright yellow, about 2 in. across, followed by large rounded dark maroon heps on similarly coloured pedicels. Its chief claim to fame is as a parent to 'Golden Wings' (q.v.). 4 ft. Early summer. Heavy fragrance. A.M. 1955.

cv. 'Pallida'. Pink or Blush China. --...This 'Parsons' Pink' is the form portrayed by Andrews and later by Redouté....

Through two lines of descent the Pink China is an ancestor of most modern garden roses. Crossed in South Carolina with R. moschata, it gave rise to 'Champney's Pink Cluster'....from which all the Noisettes and Tea roses descend. The second of its ancestral hybrids also arose outside Europe, on the Ile de Bourbon (Réunion), where sometime early in the 19th century it became hybridised with an Autumn Damask, giving rise to the race of Bourbon roses, from which, through the Hybrid Perpetuals, most modern garden roses descend...... It cannot be certain whether in either case it was 'Parsons' Pink' that was involved, as is usually assumed. A Pink China could have reached America at the same time as R. laevigata, by direct import from the Far East, while Réunion in likely to have had the same garden flora as Mauritius, which certainly did not owe its China roses to import from Britain.....

This rose, extinct in Europe, was brought from China in May 1824 by the Horticultural Society's J. D. Parks and was described by Lindley in 1826. Crossed with an original Blush Noisette (R. moschata X Pink China), it is a parent of the old yellow Tea roses and yellow Noisettes, which, through it, derive their colouring from the yellow-flowered Yunnan form of R. gigantea.

'Paulii' (Shrub). g. Paul, Cheshunt, before 1903. R. rugosa x R. arvensis. Sometimes labelled R. rugosa repens alba. Like 'Max Graf' this lingered in obscurity until reappraised as a ground-cover shrub; being very prickly and making a dense mound of interlacing branches, it is impenetrable for weeds or animals. Dark, somewhat rugose leaves. Flowers in clusters, freely disposed over the entire plant; the petals are narrow, giving a starry effect, pure white, with yellow stamens.
