I only found a 'Chelsea' climbing rose and a 'Chelsea Belle' miniature rose. I doubt he wanted either of those. The famed breeder, David Austin, introduced his first roses in Chelsea, England, and flower shows are held their regularly. It's possible he referred to a Chelsea winning rose.
I'd advise contacting your nearest rose society and seeing if they know of something more specific.
