This time, after the conference, I was lucky enough to see a number of plants of R. xanthina f. normalis in flower beside a mountain road at Wutai Shan in Shanxi Province.

Rosa xanthina f. spontanea Rehd. Syn. R. xanthina f. normalis Rehd. & E.H. Wils. Northern China, Mongolia, Turkestan - Introduced 1907 (after the form with double blooms). 2.50 to 3 m high. 5 to 6 cm diam. Fruit: 1.2 to 1.3 cm diam. This is the wild type with single flowers, yellow again, which appear at the end of May and beginning of June among pale green foliage, called "fern-like" like that of Rosa hugonis and that of the species type with double blooms. Like that, it has strong and straight prickles, but not even a single bristle on its long shoots. Thanks to its single blooms, this wild type gives fruit: almost round, light red, they have on their ends upright and persistent sepals.
