(1831) Page(s) 163-164. ...A gardener in Fournes, named M. Tourcq, wanted to sell a new rose variety for 300 Francs (approx. 135 Rhein-Gulden) to the aid of the poor. The Count [of Rouvroi] immediately bought it and the sum was soon distributed among the poor of the community. This very new rose, which is becoming known under the name of R. Bourbon, Bourbon-Rose, belongs in its nature to the Tea Roses; therefore she would be better called R. Thé Bourbon, Bourbon Tea Rose, to distinguish it from a quite different sort which was already earlier known as R. Bourbon, and simultaneously to describe its fragrance which is very similar to the Tea Rose. This rose is supposed originally to come from Holland. M. Torcq received it from a landowner in Holland, Vanderberg-Boom, who had originated it from seed. he is snow-white, and much brighter than the only Provence-Rose (R. unique de Provence), and than even the double camellia (Camellia japonica fl. albo pl.); as it looks as if it were lacquered when expanding and seems like a bloom made of porcelaine than a natural rose; the outer petals then reflex, the inner petals form a ball, as the Magnolia or the true Vilmorin-Rose (there is also a false one); when she is fully open the center exhibits a small cluster of moss, like outside on the moss roses, only it is sea green, which contrasts magnificently with the bright white of the petals. Her fragrance is excellent and so strong that a room is perfumed within a few minutes. She is not afraid of cold, can be propagated with cuttings and demands shade in summer, sun destroys it. This rose was up to now not sold, nor given as a gift" - roughly so goes a notice which circulates in Lille about this rose, which must be quite unique in its type if it is really so.

Bred by Mr. Marie Noisette, nurseryman in Brie-Comte-Robert.- creeping cane, 10-12 foot long, double, glossy white, in large trusses, - all this differentiates this from all other roses, and one can see how suitable she can be used either as own root (franc de pied) to cover rock formations, or how well she will look, if grafted on 8 to 10 foot tall wild rose understocks, lets her branches droop until the ground, like a weeping willow.
