In Les Plus Belles Roses, M. Maurice Vilmorin is mentioned as having produced an interesting and very remontant hybrid between R. rugosa and R. foliolosa. A black and white sketch of the bush shows it as being of low stature and having very dark blooms. We took slides of this rose with us to England and were able to compare the flowers and leaves of our rose [Ann Endt] with those of William Paul's hybrid R. rugosa atropurpurea. This we found to be a much taller plant; a very fine rose, but not our unusual one.

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.
