Rosa stellata mirifica  Species shrub in UK 1917.  This grows wild in New Mexico yet adapts perfectly to my Hertfordshire clay, producing golden-eyed deep rosy purple blooms over several weeks of summer.  It is a distinctive type of rose, and among its fascinations are leaflets which are deep cut like those of strawberries, needle-like prickles, and wiry stems.  It is a rather untidy grower but does not mind being trimmed back, and deserves to be better known.
