The plant received by Evan reportedly flowered for the first time in England in 1807. Prior to that date, the plant was thought to be a yellow-flowered species.

This rose rambles into an old pear tree. It is very sweetly scented and although not many flowers were open some had petals of a different colour like some multiflora hybrids do. I thought I might be 'Carnea'?

The rose ‘Flore Carneo’ is not in the HMF, neither in photo nor in text. I am not referring to the much later 'R. multiflora carnea' discovered in 1804, a very different rose. What I submit here is from a very large engraving which hangs in my living room, one I purchased a few years ago at an international Antiquarian Faire.
‘Rosa flore Carneo’ was created by the French court’s first botanical painter Pierre Vallet. In 1608 he published Le Jardin du Roy Tres Chrestien Henry IV. After the assassination of Henry IV, he published a second volume under King Louis XIII entitled Le Jardin du Roy Tres Chrestien, Loys XIII, Roy de France et de Navare. In this volume of 1623 he painted two roses, ‘R. flore Carneo’, figure 165, and ‘R. alba Multiplex’ , figure 166. What I present here is the upper half of an engraving of the two roses, showing only ‘flore Carneo’. I suggest it be added to HMF.
(However, I do not know how to upload my photo of this rose engraving since there is not category for it.)

I wonder if it will be Rosa omnium calendarum flore pleno carneo (syn Quatre Saisons carné).
I have added the new file and look forward to the photo. Add the historical details to the photo, or better still, as a new comment in that file.

THE STORY OF THE MODERN ROSE
Ernest H. Wilson, Arnold Arboretum
"... in the earliest days of its career there an officer of the (English East-India) Company sent to England some dried plants, among them two Roses, known now-a-days botanically as Rosa multiflora and R. laevigata, which are mentioned by Plukenet in his Almagestum in 1696.
I checked Leonard Plukenets Almagestum Botanicum (1696) p. 322, and found one description that might be a double-flowered pink Multiflora:
Rosa incarnata multiplex, subrotundo folio crispo, barbulis s. Calycis radiis foliosis amplissimis. In amici nostri integerrimi Thom. Payne. armig. Hortulo amoenissimo jamdudum collegimus, cujus ramulum in Herbario vivo exsiccatum asservamus.
I did not find one that seemed to be R. laevigata.
