Grace Darling, 1884 Hybrid Tea

"Grace Darling (1815-42) became an international celebrity in 1838 when she and her father rescued the crew of a shipwreck off the English coast." [from Botanica's Encyclopedia of Roses]
Hybridized by Henry Bennett in 1894.

That one line and a photograph set me off on a quest to find this rose. She blooms now in my front yard - one of the earliest Hybrid Tea roses.
