The Floriculture Magazine, p. 57 (August 1839)
MACARTNEYS ROSES—ROSA BRACTEATA. This is a small group, characterised by its evergreen shining foliage. The only variety now in flower with us is the Double Blush, or Victoire Modeste. It will give some additional interest to this class when we state, that the well known and very excellent rose Maria Leonida is a Macartney Rose. This small but distinct group was named in honour of Lord Macartney, who brought the original plant from China in 1705.
