Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A newly introduced, very ornamental and distinct species from the S Yunnan/ N Vietnam frontier. The quite large, white and fragrant flowers appear in mid-summer. This vigorous species has foliage similar to that of R. hemsleyanum but with narrower leaves and a more upright and narrow growth habit and much larger flowers. These are grown from seed collected in the wild.
