Rosa omeiensis, Rolfe. Fig. 3456. Shrub, to 10 ft. : the young shoote densely bristly: lfts. 9-17, oblong or elliptic-oblong, acutish, cuneate at the base, serrate, glabrous, 1/3-3/4in. long : fls. white, over 1 in. across; petals usually 4: fr. ellipsoid, 1/3-1/2in. long, red, borne on a yellow or red thickened stalk of about equal length. May, June: fr. in July, Aug. W. China. B.M. 8471. A graceful shrub with handsome fern-like foliage, early white fls. and especially attractive in summer on account of the contrasting color of the red fr. and its yellow or red fleshy stalk, a feature which distinguishes it at once from any other cult. rose. Has proved hardy in Mass., while R. sericea is tender. Var. pteracantha, Rehd. & Wilson (A. sericea var. pteracantha, Franch.). Prickles much enlarged at the base, decurrent and often confluent, forming wide wings, red and translucent on the young shoots. B.M. 8218. G.C. III.38:260, 261. Gn. 69:300. J.H.S. 27:491.— The large wing-like prickles, which are red and translucent while young, make this rose a conspicuous and striking object.
