Another rose named to honor Sir Joseph Banks was bred by the renowned Frenchman Jean Laffay about 1837, specifically ‘Banksiaeflora’ (listed in Catherine Gore’s The Rose Fancier’s Manual of 1838 as ‘Banksiana Flora’). A climber showing off clusters of very double, yellowish white flowers with pale yellow centers, it is more fragrant than all the Banksiae except, perhaps, for R. banksiae lutescens. It appears to be a hybrid of R. arvensis Hud. and R. moschata or a noisette, but the name does genetically suggest R. banksiae in its parentage as well. Though no longer commercially available, it still grows in the Feneschi Foundation Rose Garden of Italy and in Roseraie du Val-de-Marne of France.

Two more Sempervirens hybrids have come to us from old gardens...The other one was sent to us by a Country friend, who collected it in the Raglan district. This uncommon rose, Banksiaeflora, was recommended by William Paul, in 1848, as a good pillar rose. In our climate it would be too rampant for such a position, so we have trained it through a tree....Banksiaeflora has bright, glossy green leaves, especially in the early growth; and Clusters of cup-shaped Blooms which open a pale yellow, with a deeper shade in the centre round the lovely Stamens. If the weather is hot, the flowers pale quickly but still remain attractive. In size, These blooms are midway between those of Félicité et Perpétue and Flora.
