'Stepney Rose' Reviews & Comments

I have found four references to 'Staeban', which is possibly a variation on 'Stebon'. Three of the references only list the name, but Cree (1829) gives the color as "mottled blush", which agrees with the 1770 reference.

Sarah Mackie, Nursery, Norwich, 1825
John Cree, Hortus Addlestonensis, 1829 p. 34
166 Staebon - mottled blush

At the S. end of this green lies the village of Stepney, or Stebon-heath, or Stiben's-heath, whose antiquity and importance in former times may be collected from it being once the residence of kings, the seat of parliament, which was held there, and the place where the deans of St. Paul's had their country-mansion.
[I include this note because I was not sure that Stebon Rose and Stepney Rose were the same thing.]

I was just going to ask you that. They just might be. But there is a time difference of more than 15 years.
