R. bracteata (Fig.1. o. sour-sweet scent reminding us of that of Japanese plum blossoms) ....
.... benzyl acetate (54.9%) and benzyl alcohol (10.4%) in R. bracteata ....
We classed R. sambucina and R. bracteata under the Unique group since their fragrances were found to contain some components rarely found in other roses, though they may be found in the flowers of other plants. The main component of the fragrance of R. sambucina was phenylacetaldehyde (49.6%), while that of R. bracteata was benzyl acetate (54.9%). ....
Benzyl acetate, the main component of R. bracteata’s fragrance, is generated from benzyl alcohol (Fig.3) 12, 13), contained in the fragrances of R. rugosa and R. multiflora var. adenochaeta. While the fragrances of some other roses have been found to contain a small amount of benzyl acetate14), it was not a main component in any of them.

Kakayan-Bara (Cagayan Rose)
syn. = Yaeyama-No-Ibara (Field Briar from Yaeyama Islands)
R. bracteata J. C. Wendl.
Bot. Beob.: 50 (1798)
Distribution: Yaeyama Islands
This rose is found only in some of the Yaeyama Islands, which are located in the southern points of Japan, but also is distributed in lowlands of Taiwan and southern areas of China. The author saw it growing wild in grassland on Ishigaki Island.
In 1828, a drifting ship reached the coast of Cagayan, northern part of Luzon Island, Philippine. When the sailors came back to Japan two years later, the captain brought seeds of R. bracteata to Daisuke Baba, a samurai and a famous plant collector. It was the first record of this rose in Japan, and so it came to be called Kakayan-Bara.
It gives pretty large white flowers 5 to 7 cm across. Notched bracts just below the calyx tube are the distinctive feature of this rose. A famous descendant of this rose, ‘Mermaid’ (W. Paul, 1918) has bracts of the same shape, too. The author heard that R. bracteata comes in bloom in May in its natural habitats, but the one she planted in Chiba (near Tokyo) gives flowers sporadically from May to November.
This rose displays many charms: for example, eye-catching golden stamens, evergreen shiny foliage, and growth like climbing roses, but unfortunately, it has no tolerance to cold weather.
