The Rose Annual p. 34 (1913)
Mon. L. Vilmorin
From the crossing of rosa foliolosa with rosa rugosa I obtained a plant that was nearly four feet high, extremely close and abundant in its branches and foliage, while the colour was a fine pink. It is a rather late bloomer. It does not bloom until June in France—about the middle of June in England. It makes a number of small suckers. It is very easy to cut these small suckers, and if planted for winter growth they will give plants that will make very fine border plants for one or two years. They will flower for one or two months. Those are the results of all my experiments with Roses of the rugosa type. I have more to do now than to follow up such experiments.

The rose I received under this name is obviously not Vilmorins hybrid from CybeRose reference. Ours is Dark red and single flowering . Strange prickles where a stem can be covered with fine prickles then break into smooth with large hooked prickles.

Do you think it is 'Ann Endt'? My plant of 'Ann Endt' has prickles as you describe.

I thought so, but my rose only flowers once a season. Does yours get plenty of water during the season?

Is this the rose that John Nieuwesteeg bred Patricia?

No, John. No water at all for mine during summer. (Too many snakes here to plough in there and hand water it.) We had 10 mls in December, but the last decent rain was in November, so my plant is really only a spring flowerer.
I don't think so Ozoldroser. That was 'Nieuwesteegii' (dreadful name), parentage: R. foliolosa x R willmottiae.

Report of the Conference on Genetics (1906)
Exhibit of Rosa Foliolosa
Maurice de Vilmorin, Paris
Rosa foliolosa of Nuttall is a wild species in Arkansas, Texas, &c., and has been too much neglected by horticulturists. It presents very distinct features—a small size, very thin wood, very elegant little foliage, with numerous and glossy leaflets. It is very late flowering and continues to bloom all through the autumn, showing bright rosy-white flowers, bearing at the same time both green and red fruits with fine fimbriated sepals. The defect of its sending out so many suckers may be corrected by budding it on the collar of some other rose.
But it is chiefly for hybridising purposes that Rosa foliolosa ought to be interesting. Crossed with some dark-coloured variety of Rosa indica it would probably give some very good results. I successfully tried its hybridisation with the red Rosa rugosa, and the result is a bush some three feet high, broadly pyramidal, with plenty of blossoms of a light yellowish-pink, produced from July to the frosts. Many other combinations might be tried.

Thank you for a fascinating reference.
If "light yellowish-pink" is correct, then I don't think "Ann Endt" is the rose Vilmorin produced, although it may well have the same parentage. I'm not sure how to describe "Ann Endt", but perhaps as glowing cerise. Others have called it magenta, which may be closer.
