Hi!
I've a suggestion, is the add of more taxonomy information a good idea?
Like:
Color of thorns, shape of thorns, color of stigma, color of filament, color of plant itself, how the leaves are carved, stipules form.
Especially with spiecies or specieshybrids it's very good for IDing.
I've read a paper about the taxonomy from wild roses in Europe and it's very interresting.
Best Regards,
Timo

Hi, Timo,
Even though many users have no interest in detailed botanical descriptions, we do try to include a good description of each species in the References. Knowing what we do about the range of variation within a species, it is always a bit misleading. We are still trying to find descriptions of particular species. It isn't always easy.

Thanks for taking the time to contact us with your suggestion - we are ALWAYS interested in ideas on how to improve HMF. As resources permit, we will be adding new "searchable" plant characteristics. Thanks again.

I would like to add R. Minutifolia var. Alba but when I go to the "contact" area it's blank.

We would love to have your picture of the white form of Rosa minutifolia on HMF! What a nice find.
As soon as the upload is fixed, would you please post your photo to the name Rosa minutifolia f. albiflora, which is the correct name of the white form? The page has only the bare basics, right now, but we will flesh it out little by little.
Here is the page address that you can copy and paste into your browser:

Thank you so much for contributing to HMF.

Thanks for taking the time to report this error. We corrected the problem with the blank "Contact Us" form but that's not what you want to use to upload your photo. Click on the "How Do I..." link at the top of the page for instructions on how to upload your photo. We look forward to it !

Thanks for the quick answer Cass!
I've also a R. nitida wich is listed as Rosa nitida 'Kebu'
Can you add that one to?
Both 'kebu' and minitifolia albiflora doesn't bloom yet but you'll post when they do.
Best regards,
Tim

Yes, I'll definitely add Rosa nitida 'Kebu'. Is 'Kebu' a species selection, not a hybrid?

Hi cass,
I have really no clue. Searching on the internet gives me this:
http://aurora.pp.fi/annesgarden/rosa/rosanitikebu.html
The other sites are from denmark and norwegian.
I was talking to the head of green-maintenance about roses in town. We looked on the list and the gouvernment has bought couple hundred bushes. When they bloom I'll add pictures of stipules, leaves, blooms and thorns.
Best regards,
Timo

Hi Timo,
The explanation is probably in this Danish text:
’Kebu’ er udvalgt i rosensamlingen, Hornum, blandt 4 kloner indsamlet som R. nitida i Danmark, hvoraf den ene ikke tilhører denne art, men antagelig er en hybrid.
Maybe your acquaintance can translate it.

Hi Cass,
I received the translation:
"Kebu is chosen in the rosecollection, Hornum (at cityname perhaps?), with 4 clones collected as R. nitida in Denmark, in which one of them is not belonging to that specis, but surely is a hybrid"
Well, their are 4 Nitida's and one of them is a hybrid. But it doens't say "kebu" is the hybrid. Could be an other of the 4. So it's still confused. :-)
Best regards,
Timo

I believe it is meant that Kebu is not the pre species form of R. nitida, but a hybrid.

H cass, :)
In a Konemann encyclopedia this cross is listed as:
R. Nitida 'Corylus'
It's little bigger than R. Nitida and the colors in the fall are nicer.
Just wanted you to know.

Hi, Timo,
The question that comes to mind is whether this particular plant is the named cultivar or a sister seedling.

Hi cass,
I quote the konemannbook:
"...... 'Corylus' ( R. nitida x R. rugosa ) is an usable descendant with almost identical performance as his parent (R. nitida), but will be a bit larger and with a bit more intence fall-color "
If i look at the web some listed it as R. Nitida Corylus and some as 'Corylus'
It's you call. :-)
