"The China From Adina" (China Rose, Found, Cain Family Cemetery, Adina, TX , Parentage, Introducer, & Date Unknown) A barely-semi-double pink blend China, this rose is much in the style of 'Old Blush.' Blooms are carried singly and in small clusters on a twiggy, typically China plant, which is easily 7 ft. tall in the Adina TX Cemetery. Blooms open quite flat; the pink and white color darkens almost to carmine as the bloom ages. This rose may have come from the Adina home of Confederate Veteran, R.L. Cain (Jeri Jennings Great-Grandfather) – but no one living can verify this.

"The Portland From Glendora" [Identified as ‘Joasine Hanet’] (Vibert, 1882) Originally discovered by Fred Boutin at an old Southern California ranch property, (subsequently found in the Columbia, CA area, and in the East Bay) this rose is now widely known and greatly-loved. Returned to commerce from the Huntington Botanical Garden, under its study-name, its identity as 'Joasine Hanet' (Damask Perpetual, Vibert, 1882) is now widely accepted. A wonderful, tall-growing, semi-arching shrub, it offers excellent repeat bloom and great fragrance, with excellent resistance to powdery mildew and rust.

‘Trésor de Thorigny’ (Found, Bernard Boureau, Thorigny, France, early 1900’s) This very rare Climbing Hybrid Tea was discovered in the village of Thorigny (near Paris). Discoverer Bernard named the rose for the place of its discovery, introducing it through his Grisy-Suisnes nursery as a “Treasure” of Thorigny.’ This Treasure has not been available in the United States, but it is in the collection of the “Roseto Botanico Carla Fineschi,” in Italy’s Tuscan hills. ‘Trésor de Thorigny’ is a very vigorous climber, carrying a froth of fragrant, clustering near-white blooms.

'White Pearl In Red Dragon's Mouth' (Chi Long Han Zhu; China Rose, Ancient, parentage, introducer, date unknown) A twiggy plant, wholly China in character, this rose has probably been cultivated in China for a thousand years or more. Abundant, semi-double, blood-red blooms are cupped to cradle a delicate white “eye,” surrounding richly-golden stamens. This is the “pearl” of wisdom or virtue, carried in Chinese mythology by the scarlet Imperial dragon. Despite its exotic and aristocratic origin, ‘White Pearl In Red Dragon’s Mouth’ is a common find in the Sierra Foothills, where it has more or less naturalized. Continuous-blooming.
