'R. hugonis' rose Description
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 xanthina f. hugonis (Hemsl.) A.V. Roberts (1977) is the name accepted by the International Plant Names Index. Rosa hugonis is the name used by Flora of China.
Dedicated to Father Hugh Scallan ("Padre Hugo") (September 8, 1851 Rathmines/Dublin - May 6, 1928 Sianfu, China), Franciscan missionary who discovered the rose in the Shanxi province of northern China around 1899.
Belongs to the Pimpinellifolia section (styles free, shorter than the stamens, blooms solitary, without bracts). Has simply serrated, smooth leaflets, like R. xanthina not glandular beneath but margins are acutely serrate; is somewhat bristly and has larger blooms.
Lloyd Brace at The Roseraie at Bayfields describes this rose as having tall, arching canes foliated much like the 'Scotchbriar', to which it used to be thought to be related... the blossoms are single lemon yellow...
One of the Roses that "passed the test" in Longwood Garden's Ten-Year Rose Trials.
