(25 Jul 1874) Page(s) 64-5. To George Paul.
Caunton Manor, Newark,
S. James’s Day, 1874.
Dear George Paul,—I have just heard with real pleasure from two of our mutual friends, that my namesake * (let it be 'Reynolds Hole' without any prefix, because by that name I am best known to my friends, and the pronunciation is easier) is now blooming at Cheshunt in great beauty and proves itself to be a superior rose. Could you spare me a few "buds," as my own plants have not done well ? —Yours very sincerely, S. Reynolds Hole.
*The hybrid perpetual rose 'Reynolds Hole.'

From the Dean's writings, it seems most likely that this was the 1872 rose of that name bred by Paul rather than the earlier 'Reynolds Hole' bred by Trouillard and introduced by Standish in the early 1860s.
