Rosa borbonica, Morr. Boubbon Rose. Supposed hybrid of R. chinensis and n. gallica. Upright shrub, with prickly and often glandular-hispid branches: lfts. usually 7, ovate or ovate-lanceolate, acute, shining, slightly pubescent beneath: fls. 1 or few in a corymb, on glandular pedicels, double or semi-double, usually purple, blooming in summer and fall. W.R. 114. Originated from a rose intro. about 1819 from the Island of Bourbon where it was found among seedlings of the Bengal rose by Mr. Perichon and sent by Mr. Bréon, director of the botanic garden at Bourbon, to Jacques, gardener to the Duke of Orleans at Neuilly near Paris; this rose, called Rose Edward, by crossing with roses of the Gallica groups has given rise to the Hybrid Bourbon roses and is the origin together with crosses between this and other hybrids of R. chinensis and its varieties and R. damascena of the Hybrid Perpetual or Remontant class.
