Sometimes classed as Tea, sometimes as a China. This rose, and the Bermuda “found” rose ‘Smith’s Parish’ are probably the same, basically a creamy China or small tea, with random red petals or streaks of red. Originally recorded by Robert Fortune in China in 1847, lost in Europe and then rediscovered growing in Bermuda. Photographed in Bermuda by Bill Grant.
