The Garden: An Illustrated Weekly Journal of Gardening, pp. 431-432 (Sept 2, 1916) The Roses of August by “White Lady” ...the fragile-looking R. Webbiana seems worthy of being called perpetual, for it has been flowering all through the summer, and is wonderfully pretty now with its single blossoms of palest pink set off by glaucous foliage and soft strawberry pink stems.
R. webbiana, a shrub, 2-3 m high, with pink or white flowers 30-60 mm in diameter; reported from Persia only by Ḵātamsāz (p. 48) as occurring in a few localities in northern Persia; widely distributed in Afghanistan (Zieliński, p. 15).
