Mr. G. Burch, Peterborough. New Roses - Their Fascination and Marked Periods of Introduction.
…A year later, which must have been 1874, a half-standard tree of Madame Willermoz, a tea-scented variety, colour creamy white, came into the possession of Mr. John Keynes, of Salisbury, and on this tree there was growing a shoot which produced blooms of the deepest red that had yet been seen in a Tea Rose, this Sport was propagated with great care, anxiously watched, and eventually distributed as Letty Coles. It was popular for a time but did not have a long run, as many of the blooms were badly shaped.
