Rosa indica flavescens, the pale sulfur-yellow new Theerose, it is far larger than the Theerose ordinaire, and has a very peculiar, strong smell.

The Rose Amateur's Guide (1861) Page 139 Thomas RIVERS (Nurseryman.) The Old Yellow Tea Rose bears seed abundantly; but it has been found, from repeated experiments, that a good or even a mediocre rose is seldom or never produced from it; but fertilised with the Yellow Briar, something original may be realised.

A General History of the Dichlamydeous Plants, Volume 2 p. 582 (1832) By George Don
Rosa indica var. ochroleuca; flowers double, large, cream-coloured, without any scent. This variety was introduced from China in 1824 by Mr. Parks, and is figured in the thirteenth volume of the Botanical Register. It is commonly called the yellow Chinese rose.
[Don was wrong. The only rose in the 13th volume of Bot. Reg. is the double yellow Rosa banksiae.]

This rose may still be in existence in China. I have also seen photos taken in Italy of a rose that matches Redoute's illustration quite well.
