R. rugosa...is native to the same general area, and when crossed with a pink rose often produces a hybrid having magenta or mauve blossoms. A controlled cross of variety carnea and R. rugosa rosea produced decoration de geschwind (Geschwind, 1885) which is of similar habit and bears purple-pink, white-edged flowers.

Another somewhat distinct and extremely hardy group is known as the Hungarian Roses. They are mostly hybrids of R. multiflora with R. rugosa and other hardy roses, and are credited to Geschwind of Karpona, Hungary. Representative varieties are Château Luegg, Décoration de Geschwind, Gilda, Roi des Aunes, and Schneelicht.

Eugenie Lamesch and Leonie Lamesch denote that they were derived by either the accidental or intentional crossing of R. multiflora with varieties of the China and Tea Roses. When Lambert introduced these two varieties in 1899, it was apparent that a rose of another class had been used as a parent, as they differed considerably from the types that preceded them. The plants were more vigorous

In 1818 another resident of Charleston, John Fraser, created a variety of the same parentage [as Champney's Pink Cluster] and became so enthusiastic about it that he personally took a plant of it to England in 1821. There it became known as Fraser's Pink Musk or the Blush Musk and occasionally as R. Fraseri, although the latter name was never accorded botanical recognition. The medium-sized, semidouble, intensely fragrant blush-colored blossoms borne in large clusters denoted that it was a typical Noisette.

Karl Förster. 1931). To date, this is probably the best of the Kordes roses that have been derived from the R. spinosissima group, and is a hybrid of variety altaica and 'Frau Karl Druschki'. The very large, semidouble to double, high centered, snow-white blossoms are borne intermittently throughout the summer, on a 7-foot plant. It is one of those rare hybrids in which the best qualities of both parents have been combined. Were it not for the fact that it is exceptionally difficult to propagate, it would probably be one of our most popular shrub roses.

p207    We are certain that the first Hybrid Tea resulted from the natural cross-pollination of a Tea and a Hybrid Perpetual, but there is some doubt as to whether La France, Cheshunt Hybrid, or an unrecognized hybrid appeared first.   The former probably deserves this distinction, as the following statement was made by George Paul,  originator of Cheshunt Hybrid, in the Rosarians’s Year Book of 1897.  “In 1893, the National Rose Society classed La France and its various sports as Hybrid Teas.   From the evidence of the leaves and flowers I have always held it to be a hybrid of the Chinas;  but, as the original forms of Chinas and Teas are but different colored varieties of R. chinensis, it may fairly be recorded as the first hybrid tea.” 
As rose hybridists have never been known to give credit to another, we may assume that La France was recognised at that time as being the first of the class.  It is a much better variety than Cheshunt Hybrid, and is more typical of the class as we now know it.    

p212.  La France (Guillot, 1867).  Generally recognized as the first variety that combined the delicacy and everblooming qualities of Tea roses with the large full blooms and sturdy growth of the Hybrid Perpetuals.  The Journal des Roses  a French publication of 1867, states that a committee of fifty rosarians was chosen in that year to judge more than one thousand seedlings of French origin.   They selected La France as the most distinctive of the lot, agreed that it was the first representative of a new class, and predicted that from its progeny a new class of roses would be developed.     Assuming that it was a hybrid of the Tea Rose, the name Rosa indica odorata hybrida was tentatively applied.    Modern authorities believe that Mme. Bravy, a creamy white Tea Rose, and Mme. Victor Verdier, a light crimson Hybrid Perpetual, are the parents.    The basis for this assumption is unknown, as Guillot stated that it appeared in a bed of seedlings whose parentage was unknown and he therefore could not trace its origin.    Socrates (Robert & Moreau, 1858), rather than Mme. Bravy, may well have been a parent, as it is a prolific seed producer, was very popular at the time, and its large double flowers of deep rose, tinged with fawn, closely resemble the large, silvery pink blossoms of La France.  
Predictions as to its influence on the future development of the class were somewhat optimistic as La France proved to be a poor seed parent, and with the possible exception of Mrs. W. J. Grant, no rose of great value was directly derived from it, either by seed or mutation.     Recorded descendants are Augustine Guinoisseau, Duchess of Albany,  Denmark [sic], Farbenkonigin,  George Arends, John Cook,  Leila Francis, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs. W. J. Grant, and Stratford.  Mrs. W. J. Grant was the first and most important of the group.    The blossoms of La France are composed of about 60 slightly waved petals;  they are intensely fragrant and are produced throughout the summer.    Growth is vigorous, to 2 feet, and plant is slightly susceptible to blackspot.
