'Rosa elegantula Rolfe syn.' rose Reviews & Comments

I think there is a mixup of two rose species.
Rosa farreri Stapf ex Cox (1915)
A species in the sect. Pimpinellifoliae (ser. Spinosissimae) with axillary, solitary pink or white flowers, with no bracts supporting the flowers.
Rosa persetosa Rolfe (193) is a species in the sect. Rosa (formerly sect. Cinnamomeae) with several red flowers in a corymb. The flowers are supported by 3–5 bracts. Rosa elegantula Rolfe is a synonym.
What may have caused the mixup is that there is a formae descripted of R. farreri, named f. persetosa Stapf.
These are two entirely different roses.
best wishes,
Ulf Eliasson

If you pick a stem with most of the flowers still in bud, it lasts a long time in a vase.

Hi. Have you already checked BUY FROM tab to get the names of the known suppliers? Be sure to choose the "All Countries" from the COUNTRY search options for the largest list of suppliers.

Thank you very much indeed - I had contacted David Austin who is about a couple of miles away but they had none in stock.
Think I have now located one in Worcestershire.
Many thanks
