"Light Pink Eglantine from SJHRG" rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

R. rubiginosa Linnaeus (1771) Foliage smells like apples.

Rosa villosa is the species most usually called the Apple Rose, because its hips look like small apples. In a few European countries, R. rubiginosa is sometimes also known as the Apple Rose because the leaves and buds smell like apples.

From Roses of America, p. 41: One of the most famous references to it is in Shakespeare's A Midsummer-Night's Dream, where Oberon describes Titania's bower:
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows;
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.

The Eglantine is a European species, but its history of use as a root stock for many rose varieties means that it has naturalized (sometimes invasively so) beyond its native range, including to North and South America, Australasia, and Southern Africa.
