Bred by Henry Bennett (United Kingdom, 1882).
Introduced in Australia by C. F. Newman and Sons - Adelaide in 1894 as 'Countess of Pembroke'.
Class:
Hybrid Tea.

Light pink.  Strong, tea fragrance.  Very large, full (26-40 petals), cupped-to-flat, nodding or "weak neck" bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.

Bennett always speaks of using the 'President' in his crosses, not 'Adam'. The synonymity of these two is questionable. It is more probable that Bennett used the rose marketed by Paul in England since 1860 than the much earlier Tea by Adam.
