La Tenterelle (Belle de Parny, Parny), The flowers are a bluish rose with slaty shadings, large and full; upright habit and vigorous growth.
From Prince's Manual of Roses, 1846, p.61:
Hybrid China Roses.
La Tourterelle, Parny, or Dove Rose, is a large flower, of a crimson lilac hue, assimilating somewhat to dove color, whence its first and last titles : the growth is vigorous, and it soon attains a height of twelve to sixteen feet, and is well suited for a pillar rose, but it has been superseded, as well as the four preceding, by new varieties of greater beauty.

Remarks on the Colours and Properties of One Thousand Species and Varieties of Roses. By St. Patrick.
I have very frequently felt the want of a list of Roses, which should contain a description of the colour of the flowers, &c. This deficiency, I am pleased to say, I had most agreeably made up a few days since, by having a catalogue put into my hands of a thousand sorts cultivated by Mr. Wood, Nurseryman, Woodlands, near Maresfield, Sussex, and of Paris. The description in the catalogue pleased me so much, and afforded me information at once so useful and interesting, that I resolved on arranging the kinds alphabetically, which is not done in the catalogue, and forwarding the list for insertion in the Cabinet, believing it would be found of use to a great portion of its readers.
