'Ho Hua Chiang Wei' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

Rosa multiflora var. carnea Redouté & Thory (1821)
The early Hybrid Multifloras (Seven Sisters, Laure Davoust, de la Grifferaie) are derived from 'Carnea,' which was either a garden variety or a species hybrid, and not the species Rosa multiflora. See References.

An early gardening name for R. multiflora was R. umbellata. The reference to R. umbellata flore carneo is attributed by some to R. rubiginosa var. umbellata, but the blooms of the latter are not double. The drawing by Bertuch has similarities to that in the Botanical Register (1819), however the former states that blooms are 2-4 inches large, in clusters of 4-5, the plant is about 4 feet tall and not very tender. A different rose than today's 'Multiflora carnea'?
