Rose Letter of the Heritage Roses Groups (Feb 2013) Darrell g.h. Schramm
"John Fraser, a botanist-explorer and nurseryman originally from Scotland, set up his nursery a few miles from John Champneys’ rice plantation. About the same time as ‘Champneys’ Pink Cluster’, a rose appeared with the name of ‘Fraser’s Pink Musk’. Some rosarians assume that Fraser developed this rose, while others speculate that Champneys may have produced it and named it for John Fraser. But apparently Fraser took it to Europe where, according to Robert Buist in 1839, it became known as “‘Frazerii’. ‘Blush Musk’, ‘Pink Musk’, all the same rose . . . much puffed in Europe, being the only one of colour in that group.” William Robert Prince also lists this rose in his 1846 nursery catalogue. William lists it as ‘Fraser’s’ in The Rose Garden of 1848."

The spelling apparently varied, including Frasier and Frazer.
Thomas Rivers, Rose Amateur's Guide p. 86 (1837) The Blush Musk, or Fraser's Musk, or Rosa Fraserii, is not quite a pure Musk rose; but as it is the only rose of this division of the colour, and also very fragrant, it has been much planted: its flowers are semi-double, and produced in large clusters.
