[From "Double Forms of our Wild Roses", by Stephen F. Hamblin]
A different plant, with semi-double red flowers on a plant like the wild Prickly rose, but clustered, is Pike's Peak, from pollen of Hollywood, HT., on the wild plant. This was produced by N. C. Gunter, and put in the trade by Bobbink & Atkins in 1940. It is a very pleasing "half-wild" rose, very vigorous and hardy.
