146. Rosa Kamtschatica Vent Cels. t. 67. In fruit only; the strong shoots densely setose, and with immense dilated aculei. One or two smooth specimens also collected. An intermediate form is in Dr. Lyall's collection, from Vancouver's Island. The R. cinnamomea in Pl. Hartweg, to which Ventenat's plant is referred as a synonyme, is wholly different, and apparently R. Californica, Cham. & Schlecht.

In many species of roses, especially in Rosa Kamtschatica and Rosa cinnamomea, the stipules could be noted increasing, and the size of the leaf blade diminishing on the branch as it approached infloresence. ... Often the stipules, especially in Rosa Kamtschatica, would have the red colors of the petals, when at the nodes, immediately below the axis from which the peduncle proceeded.

In regard to Rosa rugosa, it is certainly worth while to grow the finest forms, although this involves their propagation by cuttings or budding, as they do not come true from seed. I have an extremely handsome crimson form, from which I have raised many seedlings, but none of them is nearly so fine either in flower or foliage as the seed parent; while many are as poor as Rosa kamtschatica, which is perhaps the least interesting of the feroces. The white variety, again, does not come true from seed; every seedling that I have raised from a plant, grown in a comparatively isolated position, of a fine white form has produced flowers of varying shades of dingy red—a fact that I fancy tends to dispose of the theory advanced at one time that the white-flowered Rosa rugosa was the original species and the red-flowered ones were varieties.
