Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is a very large rose shrub reaching up to 12'. So very pretty in spring with its 2 inch flowers of rose-pink on prickly stems, but perhaps the most handsome in autumn when it is laden with its pendulous clusters of bright-red bottle-shaped fruits; an unusual and marvelous rose which comes to us from China and Tibet.
