Adding
"a primitive Bourbon [*] climbing over a stone wall."

[*] Note: 'Bourbon' is a type, or "class" of rose that appeared before the introduction of the first Hybrid Tea rose in 1867 ('La France'). A Google search "when did Bourbon roses start" has an answer of "Bourbon roses are a group of hybrids originating from a chance cross between a form of 'Autumn Damask' and the 'Old Blush' China rose which occurred in about 1817 on the Île de Bourbon (now Réunion) in the Indian Ocean. When it was introduced to France two years later it was used to produce further hybrids."
