Yes, it can revert back to Rosa gallica officinalis. If you go through the photos, you will see one which shows this at the Hamburg Botanical garden

very helpful! It seems to be a VERY slow change, so nice to hear you confirm your experience.
Thanks!

Just be aware that all the Gallicas, and Old European Roses in general, will sucker if grown on their own roots. That's why they're survivors. Some are more aggressive than others.

The Rosa Mundi blooming at the E.M. Mills Rose Garden in Syracuse appears to have half striped, and half a solid pink color. Either a reversion or a seedling?
However, the PINK of both the striped and solid versions is MUCH lighter than the reddish pink seen in most pictures. Going to post pics soon.

The 1975 reference is interesting.

How bristly is this rose? I've read only one comment that it is thornless, and haven't found any others.
