| Rosa gallica "versicolor" Apothecary's rose
|
| The stuff of legend. One of the oldest culticated roses known and loved for its striped pink and red flowers |
| Rosa laevigata Cherokee rose
|
| Must have been Chinese Cherokees who named this Asiatic rose, a ferocious burglar deterrant with large, usually white flrs |
| Rosa paulii

| A thug among roses, but charming with it, rapidly covers ground with ferociously spiked branches. Beautiful large clear white flrs. Probably the one that guarded Sleeping Beauty for a hundred years |
| Rosa roxburghii Chinese chestnut rose

| Rare Oriental species named for the colour of its bark which is also said to smell of cinnamon |
| Rosa rubiginosa eglanteria Eglantine rose
|
| Bristly English native whose leaves smell delectably of apples after rain showers |

| Rose used in municipal plantings, virtually indestructable large hips make splendid jelly or Autumn bird food |

|
| The one everyone asks about with giant crimson translucent thorns, exceptionally attractive to all except burglars
| 
|
| Rosa spinosissimus variegata Variegated rose
|
| Very rare and not specially hardy rose with insignificant white flrs. However the pink shoots in Spring contrasted with the green and gold variegated foliage make this one eagerly sought after by collectors |
| Rosa Xanthina
|
| Amazingly tough Canary Bird ancestor. Beautiful subtle and delicate yellow flowers |
