I believe there was more than one "yellow China" in circulation in the 1820s. Compare the sepals of the Yellow China in this drawing with Andrews' 'Rosa indica sulphurea'. Both have no appendages, unlike Redouté's 'Bengale jaune souffre'. The latter is more similar to 'Old Blush'.

Jedmar,
I agree. There is also a difference in the leaves. According to Lindley, those of Parks' rose were convex and not shining. Redoute's painting shows the leaves concave (or at least a bit folded upwards), and Pirolle stated (in Latin and in French) that the leaves were glossy.
The other yellow China at that period was the one raised by Knight from the Blush Tea-scented. It was probably the pollen parent of Smith's Yellow Noisette.
But Parks' Tea-scented was probably the other parent of 'Devoniensis'.
