It was listed by Veitch, 1856-1857 as “White, spotted rose” and Wakefield, 1869, Gardeners’ Chronicle, p.17-18 as “White striped with carmine.” Verschaffelt, 1849, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book XI, pl.IV as ‘Duchesse de Northumberland’: The unusual size of its petals, its pure colouring, relieved here and there by broad single or double pink stripes. The exterior petals are convex and inverted; towards the centre, they are erect and recall hybrid, ever­blooming roses. Orthographic variants: ‘Duchesse de Northumberland’, ‘Duchessa di Northumberland’, ‘Duchesse of Northumberland’. Orthographic error: ‘Duchesse de Notemberland’. The name has been erroneously applied to a cultivar from Magnolia Gardens in USA.
