‘Camelia Rose’/’Camellia Rose’ = Chine… Certains le classent parmi les Noisette... fleurs doubles, en coupe, d’un rose tendre et brillant, tendent à pencher la tête au-dessus du feuillage vernissé. De taille moyenne, elles griffent parfois d’un peu de blanc leur pétales concaves. Ce rosier se plaît à la mi-ombre mais exige de la chaleur…. Prévost, vers 1830.

China Roses
W. L. Carter
Lesmesle belongs to a China type of which there are recorded other varieties whose colour changes were even more startling. Examples of these include Laffay's Courtesan, a pure white changing to fiery red; Prevost's Camellia, pale rose passing to cerise; and Louis Noisette's Bengale à grandes feuilles, whose double blooms opened a delicate rose, changed to carmine, and ended bright purple.
