It differs from the rose in commerce and is more like the receptacle of a damask perpetual.

Henry Curtis, Beauties of the Rose, 1850 included plates of both Chromatella (a more rounded receptacle) and Solfatare (slim receptacle).

Which would be unusual and unexpected in a Tea-Noisette, especially a yellow one. Perhaps it inherits it from one of the early Chinas which are sometimes shown to have those type of slimmer receptacles.

We won't know till DNA comparisons are done, whether "Ma Lovelock's" (the putative Rev. T. C. Cole) is the same as Chromatella: but my notes on it say "variable receptacles".
