Convolvulus japonicus, Thunb. (Calystegia pubescens, Lindl.). California Rose. Fig. 1047. Hardy perennial herbaceous twiner: growth very vigorous, often 20 ft.: whole plant more or less densely and minutely pubescent: lvs. hastate, lanceolate, obtuse or broadly acute, with angular or rounded lobes at the base, variable, occasionally without lobes, rarely sharp lanceolate: fls. bright pink, 1-2 in. broad, produced freely during the summer months and remaining expanded for several days. Japan and E. Asia. The double form is now naturalized from S. E. N. Y. to D. C. and Mo. P.M. 13:243. F.S. 2:172. B.R. 32:42.—The double form is completely sterile, with narrow wavy petals, irregularly arranged, the outer somewhat lacerate. A valuable decorative plant for covering stumps and walls. In rich soil the roots spread rapidly, and will smother out all other plants unless confined in tubs. The Calystegia pubescens of Lindley has been wrongly referred to Ipomoea hederacea, but the two plants are very different, the former being perennial and the latter annual. See Journ. Hort. Soc. 1:70 (1846). The plant is commonly confounded with C. Sepium. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
