101 Old Roses: Miscellaneous Roses.
There are many small groups of roses we cannot cover here due to
limitations of space. We can, however, at least mention a few names
from some of these groups: Arvensis ('Dundee Rambler', `Ayrshire
Queen', `Mme. Viviand-Morel', `Ruga'), Banksia (`Albo-Plena',
`Lutescens', `Luteo-Plena'), Bracteata ('Alba Odorata', `Maria
Leonida', `Mermaid'), Hugonis (`Albert Maumene', `Dr. E.M. Mills'),
Laevigata ('Ramona', `Anemonen Rose', `Silver Moon'), Musk (`Flore
Pleno', `Fraser's Pink Musk', `Princesse de Nassau'), Roxburghii (`Ma
Surprise', `Triomphe de la Guillotiere', `Domaine de Chapuis', `Chateau
de la Juvenie'), Soulieana ('Chevy Chase', Kew Rambler'), Pomifera
('Duplex'); Hybrid Musk, based on Noisette/HT crosses (`Felicia',
`Francesca', `Pax', `Nur Mahal', `Sammy', `Penelope'), Lambertiana,
based on Multiflora/HT crosses (`Trier', `Gneisenau', `Lessing',
`Eva'), Thomasiana, based on Wichuraiana/HT crosses (`Bishop
Darlington', `Bloomfield Dainty', `Bloomfield Perfection'), Rubrifolia,
a fascinating species with reddish glaucous foliage (`Carmenetta',
`Flora Plena', `Semi-Double'). Additionally, many species make charming
additions to the garden in their own right. Some would be: R. brunonii,
R. californica, R. carolina, R. cymosa, R. gigantea, R. macrophylla, R.
moyesii, R. omiensis `Pteracantha', R. pisocarpa, R. stellata
`Mirifica', R. xanthina, and many others--not forgetting the very close
cousin of roses, Hulthemia persica, which has recently entered into
some mainstream rose breeding.
