'Rosa sericea var. denudata' rose Reviews & Comments

-

Vintage Gardens lists Rosa sericea omeiensis with a description that it's "canes are covered with a dense coating of soft bristles". If you look under HMF listing for R. Sericea omeiensis you will find an R. Sericea var. denudata that seems to be the same plant, with a light linseed scent.

The variety denudata should be mostly free of bristles and prickles.
R. sericea var. sericea has slender green pedicels.
R. sericea var. omeiensis has pedicels that are fleshy and red.

With respect to the date you give, I'd like to point out that EA Bowles talks of var. denudata in "My Garden in Summer" (p. 52) which was first published in 1914.

I suppose you've read the other reference. The var. denudata was already known and discussed in 1893. Rowley (1959) was sorting out the named varieties and trying to make sense of them. He also cited:
R. sericea f. denudata FRANCH., Plant. Delavayanae, p. 220 (1890).

If you want to wade through Franchet's descriptions, here's a link.
