'Paulii' (Shrub). g. Paul, Cheshunt, before 1903. R. rugosa x R. arvensis. Sometimes labelled R. rugosa repens alba. Like 'Max Graf' this lingered in obscurity until reappraised as a ground-cover shrub; being very prickly and making a dense mound of interlacing branches, it is impenetrable for weeds or animals. Dark, somewhat rugose leaves. Flowers in clusters, freely disposed over the entire plant; the petals are narrow, giving a starry effect, pure white, with yellow stamens.

R. X paulii
Trailer, white, Midsummer
As an extraordinary plant, extraordinarily unpleasant in my opinion, which grows outwards upon the ground, and builds up higher at the centre, something like a thicket of brambles. Those who plant it for groundcover receive what they asked for, and will ever after enter its premises with difficulty, for its thorns are fearsome. The foliage is pale and dull; the white single flowers bespangle the plant in summer, and are large enough to make a brave show, disguising briefly the ungainly mass beneath. Personally, I would just as soon plant brambles as this, one can at least eat their fruit. From Paul & Sons, Cheshunt, some time prior to 1903. It is considered to be a hybrid between R. arvensis and R. rugosa.
