Could ‘Blush Moss’ 1789 be the same as ‘William Hooker’ 1855?

No, 'Blush Moss' is a blush Sport discovered 1789, while 'William Hooker' is a slaty lilac cultivar by Robert in 1855, dedicated to the botanist Sir William Hooker. 'Hooker's Blush Moss' is also distinct from 'Blush Moss', and attributed to the nurseryman Stephen Hooker of Brenchley.

Thanks Jedmar. I think it was the 1860 and 1902 references in ‘Blush Moss’ that made me wonder.
Then there is the possibility that ‘New Blush Moss’ <1846 could be ‘Hooker’s Blush Moss’ <1847, but no evidence as yet.
