Although named as a China rose this is in fact the first of the Tea rose group to come from China to Europe, introduced in 1824. Flowers double, pale yellow tending to fade to white; my specimens do not have the typical Tea scent but have a distinct scent of grapefruit; a tall scrambling climbing plant. Photographed at Eccleston Square London UK.
