Translation: The Hybrid Bourbon Rose.

The Hybrid Chinese Rose...Brown's Superb; flowers rosy red, their circumference blush, very large and very double; form, globular. Habit, branching; growth, vigorous. Occasionally good, but not to be depended on. This is classed as a Hybrid Bourbon by some growers, for what reason I do not know. I have heard it stated that it was raised at Slough, between the blush Odorata and a variety of the French Rose. Certainly it was under cultivation long before the Bourbon Rose was known.
