Book (1823) Page(s) 529. List of some New Roses, raised by Mr. Brown of New Scone. (Referred to at p.179.)

Mr. Brown of Perth made trial of the seeds of other kinds of garden roses, about the year 1796, and procured several seedlings of great beauty, particularly the following. Fair Maid, pale red, semi-double, in habit allied to the blush China rose, raised from the Portland or crimson monthly, R. centifolia.
