Michael Gibson. Wild Roses of Britain.
R. agrestis, the Narrow Leaved Sweet Briar, is very local in its distribution on the chalk downs, and has pale pink or nearly pure white flowers in June and July. The leaflets are much narrower than those of the Sweet Briar, though just as deeply veined, but they lack the scent glands. The oval hips are smooth, losing their sepals early. Even less frequently to be seen and then only in the southern counties is R. elliptica. It is even possible that it is now extinct in Britain, and it closely resembles (or resembled) R. agrestis but is more erect in habit, and has broader, more hairy leaves. The flowers are small, no more than 1 - 1 1/2 in (3-4cm) in diameter, white to pale pink, and quite scentless.

Inland there is a fine flora about Lewes with some unusual features. Lewes race-course, Mount Caburn and Mount Harry are among the best places. On the lower slopes of Mount Caburn the Scarce Sweetbriar, Rosa agrestis, is more abundant than in any other place in Britain. For about a mile it is the most common rose, and it is difficult to suggest any reason why it should thrive here and yet be so scarce else where".
[Lewes is in the south-east of England roughly 90km south from London and 10km from the coast.]
