One pale pink mailed here as "Mrs. Pryne's Grandmother's Favourite Rose" (try to fit that on a label), now sold as "Fantin Latour" is, we are confident, her much older 'Celine'.

p140 The Hybrid China Rose [chapter].
'Celine' (probably): We saw this rose through several seasons before we said, "Celine, probably." Since we said it we have found that 'Celine', Hybrid Bourbon, was much grown, much used in developing early forms of the Hybrid Perpetual, and much used for understock after its garden usefulness went into a decline. This rose is typically Bourbon in foliage. The growth is arching to six or seven feet, branching and diffuse. Its flowers are a lovely shade of light, clear pink, very large, quite double, cupped in form, coming in large, closely headed clusters on strong stems. On opening the rose shows a tendency to quarter like 'Souvenir de la Malmaison' although it is not nearly so full. The fragrance when the rose is expanding seems like a Damask scent, very sweet but not very lasting. 'Celine' blooms early and freely over a long period, but has no second flowering.

"Rose Stocks" by John Saul, Durdham Down Nursery, Bristol.
(Communicated November 24, 1849.)
Celine is a very vigorous growing Hybrid China. Mr. Rivers considers it to be the best stock for the Cloth of Gold, and it suits many others equally well. In a general way it may be used for the same purposes and the same classes of roses as the Crimson Boursault and Manetti; it is very inferior to the latter, which must take precedence of all.
