Gruss an Teplitz (syn. Virginia R. Coxe, Salut a Teplitz) is usually classified as a Bourbon (Old Garden Rose) but is a mixture of Bourbon, China and Tea. It was hybridized in 1897 by Rudolph Geschwind of Slovakia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.) Its red flowers are loosely double and fragrant.
