Rosa 'Jeanie Deans' is a scarlet-crimson hybrid rubiginosa rose cultivar created by Sir James Plaisted Wilde, who became Lord Penzance, in 1869.
It is named after Jeanie Deans, the heroine of Scott's novel The Heart of Midlothian.
Wilde was a judge of the Court of Probate and Divorce, and retired in 1872, but accepted the post of Dean of Arches in 1875, a position he kept on until the year of his death.
His main residence was Eashing Park in Godalming, Surrey in the mild south of England.
Apparently his roses afforded him great enjoyment because he started to hybridize then, and grow them from seed.
