"MRS. MINA LINDELL - a double rose collected from the wild by the farm woman of South Dakota after whom it was named, and sent to me by Dr. N.E. Hansen. The species is unknown but is probably closely related to Macounii or Woodsii. This is a better rose than Athabasca, with flowers of much deeper pink and somewhat better form. Fertile both ways and extremely hardy."

Mrs. Mina Lindell A beautiful, dwarf, semi-double, light pink, wild rose found by Mrs. Mina Lindell in Butte County, South Dakota. Mrs. Lindell, under date of March 4, 1924, wrote: "These roses grow on the west side of a hill, and I have noticed that there was a clump of single roses and then a clump of double ones near them. The roses grow about a mile from the Butte called Castle Rock in Butte County." This rose is named in her memory by the surviving family. To find a double wild rose in the prairies of South Dakota is indeed noteworthy. The plant sprouts freely so it will not be necessary to bud, graft, or grow from cuttings.
