Rosa macrophylla
One of the largest of the shrubby roses reaching 15 feet in height and as much or more in width. Creates a ferny shade...Flowers are of warm clear pink, followed by bristly, long, flagon-shaped fruits. It is often without prickles, and the leaflets, from 7 to 9 in number, are hairy beneath.
Two subsequent collections by Forrest were named 'Glaucescens' and 'Rubricaulis' by Messrs Hillier. In the former the leaves are particularly glaucous, and in the latter the plum-like bloom on the dark reddish stems is a distinguishing feature. 'Rubicaulis' has not proved so hardy as the other forms....'
