Stem almost unarmed, long and tall in the East Indies where it grows, but dwarf and weakly in the climate of France... petals 10-12, unequal, soft pink sometimes variegated with white spots... This modification of the China Rose belongs in the indica group... R. indica is confirmed by Bounder of Dijon who obtained an almost identical rose in 1810 from seed of the Common China save that the petals were strap like, similar to the rays of a sunflower. This rose is not common and needs an orangery. Nurseries know it as R. persicifolia...

This is a slender variety of the Chinese Rose, with lanceolate leaflets, two or three inches long by a quarter of an inch broad. The flowers are smaller than in the type, and the flowering shoots usually without prickles. Lindley calls it the willow-leaved Chinese Rose, and adds that it has little to recommend it to notice. This Rose is figured by Andrews1 under the name of Rosa fraxinellaefolia .
