Rosa ‘Striped Unique’
Centifolia rose.  The flowers of ‘Striped Unique’ were described by Catherine Gore as middle-sized and full, white, striped and veined inside with bright pink.  
  
Horticultural & Botanical History
Introduced by Paltot.  Rivers describes its origins and character: ‘This was not raised from seed, but, a flowering branch of the Unique Provence having striped flowers, plants were budded from it, and the variety was ‘fixed’, as the French florists term it.  However, this is certainly not fixed; for it is a most inconsistent rose, in some soils producing flowers beautifully striped, in others entirely red, and in the soil of this nursery most frequently pure white.’  The rose listed by Paul as ‘Panachee Superbe’, also known as ‘Superb Striped Unique’, and described by him as having large, full, cupped white flowers, striped with lake, often sporting back to white or red, is probably an improved form.  [Rivers (1854, 1857), Paul (1848, 1863, 1888)].
  
History at Camden Park

Unique Panachée ('Maid of the Valley', 'Mutabilis Variegata', 'Superb Striped Unique', 'Tulipe Paltot') [Translation: "Plumed Unique"] Centifolia. Chausée/Cardon 1821. Sport of 'Unique' (Centifolia). The author cites information from different source... in some soils producing flowers beautifully striped, in others entirely red, and in the soil of Mr. Rivers' nursery, most frequently pure white... This is one of the most beautiful Striped Roses known; but there is some difficulty in leeping it in true character. To assist in this, avoid a rich soil...

"Twenty of the Best Hardy Roses for Nurserymen Selling Roses in New Hampshire" by Mike Lowe
Almost all the once-flowering old garden roses are hardy in most areas of the state. The exception is north of the notches where winter protection is a must for all but the Spinosissimas and a very few others.
Here are the ten best once-flowering roses—in no particular order.
Unique Panachee. Centifolia. 1821. White flowers, striped with light pink—full, large, double with narrow petals twisted to form rays around a button center. Sometimes confused with York and Lancaster, but by far the better variety.
