[From "Descriptions and Account of the Varieties of Double Scotch Roses, cultivated in the Gardens of England. By Joseph Sabine, Esq. F. R. S. &c. Secretary, p. 281-305]

p. 285: they [Dickson and Brown] in 1802 and 1803 had eight (*As nearly I have been able to ascertain, the eight sorts were the small white, the small yellow, the lady's blush, another lady's blush with smooth footstalks, the red, the light red, the dark marbled, and the large two-coloured.) good double varieties to dispose of...

p. 298: The Double Dark Marbled. The peduncles are moderately long, thin, and smooth; the germen is semi-globose, with small sepals; the bud is of a deep purplish red; the flowers are very numerous, small, and semi-double, opening well, and appearing very brillant; the interior of the petal is mottled with deep purple lake on a pale ground, the paleness extending more perceptibly to the edges. After the flower has been some time expanded, the edges of the petals become much lighter, but still remain mottled, leaving the centre very distinctly marked with the darker colour, which is always more intense in that part; the yellow claws shew themselves conspicuously when the flower is fully opened. The backs of the petals are not so brilliant as the insides, yet they are of a deep colour, and varied with white lines, but do not appear mottled. The fruits are abundant, rather large, black, and globose. This Rose comes into flower about the middle of the season of Scotch Roses, and is perhaps the most beautiful of the whole tribe; it has been usually sold under the name of the Double Velvet, and at Mr. Lee's had been also called the Petite Red Scotch.
