This rose is attributed to Easlea, Jr. in an article from The Gardener's Chronicle, July 1, 1922, 2. There is an accompanying photo of Easlea, Jr. in the article.
"It will be remembered that the hundred guinea Clay Cup Challenge offered for the best seedling rose not in commerce, of good form and colour, and possessing the true old Rose scent, was won by Mr. Easlea last year with his variety, Prince of Wales."
I can't find any evidence that Easlea Sr. bred any roses. All seem to to have come into existence after Easlea, Jr. opened Danecroft Nursery in 1906.

It seems the cut between Walter Easlea Sr and Walter Easlea & Son was made in 1919, when the former died. However, the early roses bred 1913 were definitely attributed in publications to Walter Easlea of Danecroft Nursery. We have merged the breeder listings to one Walter Easlea Jr. Thank you for pointing out this error.

The parentage of this rose is George Dickson x Cherry Page, according to Walter Easlea's notes on the margin of The Rosenlexicon which is now owned by the curator of the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden. See the Central Coast Heritage Rose Group webpage at http://members.cruzio.com/~perry/easlea
