Devoniensis "Magnolia Rose", say's Beales.
(very close Susan) Alas, no picture.
Listed with Heirloom in '92,'93.

Catalogue is also $5. and very nice.  They also talk a bit about
"found" roses and will help you identify yours, when you fill out
their "Identification Fact Sheet".  This year's was little thing.
(Mis-placed that one for the moment) but they have Devoniensis a
Climber listed in '98 as a Tea rose (that's not the same as Hybrid
Tea). 

Also listed (in Noisette section) Blush Noisette, Crepuscule,
Champney's Pink Cluster and  Celine Forestier.  Susan sent me a bloom
off her's in the mail, wonderful fragrance and lovely soft yellow. 
They list 12 other Noisette's also. Mind you, this is in their 1998
catalogue.

(This was fun, Susan.)
