I'm having trouble posting a reference.

The Gardener's Magazine And Register of Rural & Domestic Improvement
The Gardener's Magazine 8: 110 (Feb 1832)
Mr. Pope, sen., [Luke] has travelled through the greater part of the United States, and has introduced a number of American plants. Among these is Rosa palustris, the flowers of which are double, and the leaves scented like those of the sweet briar. All the wild roses in America, Mr. Pope informed us, have scented leaves.

Reference added, but wasn't it meant for Rosa palustris?

What was your issue?

Andrews (1809) wrote that 'Rosa eglanteria Americana Andr.' "was introduced from North America, about the year 1801, by Mr. Pope, a nurseryman near Birmingham"
I wanted to add the little detail about Mr. Luke Pope, who apparently collected this rose on his travels.
