'Mungo Park' rose References
Magazine (1 Jun 1895) Page(s) 388. New Tea and other Roses. - We have the pleasure to send you a box of Rose blossoms by parcel post which we trust will be safely received. The hybrid Rugosa Mungo Park is a cross between General Jacqueminot and Rosa rugosa, and I send flowers of the last named for comparison. The other kinds enclosed are Sylph (Tea) and Medea (Tea). We have a high opinion of both these. - W. Paul & Son.
*** The two Tea Roses are very charming. The hybrid is also interesting, but there is a vast difference in form and colour between such hybrids and the Teas. - Ed.
