Rosa 'Old Blush', also known as 'Parsons' Pink China', 'Old Blush China', 'Old China Monthly', is a China rose (known in Chinese as yue yue fen "monthly pink") and has been cultivated in China for about a thousand years. [1] It derives from Rosa chinensis, and is generally accepted as the first East Asian rose cultivar to reach Europe.
Rosa chinensis (Chinese: 月季; pinyin: yuèjì), known commonly as the China rose, [2] Chinese rose, [3] or Bengal rose, [4] is a member of the genus Rosa native to Southwest China in Guizhou, Hubei, and Sichuan Provinces.
The specific epithet rosa-sinensis literally means "rose of China", although the plant is not closely related to true roses, nor is it from China. [10] The genus Hibiscus is in the tribe Hibisceae and the subfamily Malvoideae of the family Malvaceae. [11] The origin of the species has long been unknown; it has never been found out of cultivation.

Dwarf mutations of some Old Garden Roses—gallicas and centifolias—were known in Europe in the 17th century, although these were once-flowering just as their larger forms were. Miniature forms of repeat-flowering China roses were also grown and bred in China, and are depicted in 18th-century Chinese art.
