The rose was raised by G.Paul in 1874 with 'Duke of Edinburgh' as the seed parent. W.Paul describes it as follows: 'flowers lively increasing in brilliance as the flowers advance in age, large, not very full; growth vigorous*. In A Book about Roses by Dean Hole, 1901, 'Reynolds Hole is described as having flowers of 'Deep maroon, flushed with scarlet. A good dark rose; requires the brier; late'. Surprisingly, none of the descriptions mentions the scent. The won­derful fragrance of the peony-like flowers is what attracted me most to this rose.
This in an article on the rediscovery in the garden which Dean Hole started and which is still in the family.

[*Author has incorrectly used description pertaining to Trouillard's 1861 'Reynolds Hole' - refer Trouillard's 1863 reference, The Rose Garden p254 - and applied it to Paul's 1872 'Reynolds Hole].

Mr. Edward Mawley: Dean Hole, The First President of the National Rose Society.
....Dean Hole considered 'Charles Lefebvre' the most perfect Rose of his day, and states that "at its best it is best". Of the rose named Reynolds Hole after himself, he says "How little did I think that I should live to be described as 'A splendid maroon dashed with crimson."

Appendix B of this book consists of a list of roses in the deanery garden at Rochester in 1903, compiled by Samuel Reynolds Hole. The list includes 'Reynolds Hole'

From the Dean's writings, it seems most likely that this was the 1872 rose of that name bred by Paul rather than the earlier 'Reynolds Hole' bred by Trouillard and introduced by Standish in the early 1860s.

The full list of roses can be seen in the HMF entry for 'The Letters of Samuel Reynolds Hole, Dean of Rochester'.
