'Rosa Peeliana' rose References
Book (1855) Page(s) Appendix, p. xxiii. A very sweet rose has been brought into Bengal from England. It is called Rosa Peeliana after the original importer Sir Lawrence Peel. It is a hybrid. I believe it is a tea-scented rose and is probably a cross between one of that sort and a common China rose ; but this is mere conjecture.
