"Rosa banksiae rosea" rose Reviews & Comments

The Floricultural Cabinet, and Florists' Magazine, Volume 9 page 195 (Sept 1, 1841)
Banksia rosea is a slight deviation from the true Banksia; it appears to bear an affinity to some of the Boursoult Roses of humbler growth.

Thanks Karl.
I have added your references, but note that you have commented in a file which has the "foundling" double quotes. We have two files:
"Rosa banksiae rosea" (Rambler)
Rosea (hybrid banksia)
I suspect they should be merged to become just the one 'Rosea' (hybrid banksiae)?

Patricia,
I really don't know anything about this (these?). I just happened across a mention of Banksia rosea and wanted to preserve the info.
It would be interesting if this "Rosea" turns out to be a Hybrid Banksiae.

I know nothing about them either, but there is a garden called Le Villerot in France who grows the founding rose. Perhaps we should seek more information before merging the files. Does anybody know this garden or the owners

In Italy a few nurseries sell Rosa Banksiae rosea. I bought two from Vivai Innocenti & Mangoni and they proved to be Tausendschon. I think that other pink roses might be sold with that name.

I had a fossick around the one nursery that HelpMeFind lists for this rose, Crocus, but could only find a normal banksiae.

... the other, plantes et jardins.com, as stated in HMF sells a Rosa banksiae rosea. However, as far as I can judge from the photo ( http://www.plantes-et-jardins.com/p/24998-rosier-de-banks-rosea#ref=1212-2_2-2_1103-3) it looks Tausendschon. It does not surprise me as Vivai Innocenti & Mangoni is a sort of huge hub that sells to other nurseries in 40 countries.

Thanks Cà Berta. We've noted on the foundling page that it may be 'Tausendschon'.

Warning is the only thing we can do!
In 2007 I wrote to Mangoni and they, very kindly, replied that "their commercial catalogue is dedicated to professionals who are presumed to have in-depth knowledge of the subject". Nino Sanremo, a truly professional nursery, in fact removed Rosea banksiae rosea from its catalogue and donated the left over plants to customers.

mhm...
what about this rose?:
http://www.planfor.fr/achat,rosier-de-banks-rosea,9383,FR
(they say: "Introduced in France in 1807")
I have got one bought there. It is now (December) blooming.
It has some small thorns. Little scent. It is a few years old plant not showing (yet?) tall canes as other banksiae I have (alba plena and lutea).
I am posting a picture....
Need I to rename it??? Thank you!

I had to look up the dictionary for the meaning of "fossick"!

I have been fossicking..... and will add a new comment in 'Tausendschon', which may be relevant.

I have uploaded 3 photos I made during a visit to Le Villerot in 2014. It was not a full grown plant at the time and had only a few blooms. The canes are without prickles, and leaflets are narrow and lanceolate, however I cannot confirm that it is really a banksia. It does not look like 'Tausendschön' to me, the foliage is narrower. The introduction date of 1807 is definitely incorrect, that refers to the white version of the Banksia.
