Hulthemia persica (Michx.) Bornm. - Syn. Rosa persica Michx., R. simplicifolia Salisb., R. berberifolia Pall., Hulthemia berberifolia (Pall.) Dumort., Lowea berberifolia (Pall.) Lindl. Iran, Afghanistan, U.R.S.S., dans les régions qui entourent la mer Caspienne et la mer d'Aral, aux confins des déserts - Introduit en Europe en 1790.
Feuilles simples, à courts pétioles, elliptiques à oblongues, apex aigu, long. 1,5 à 3 cm, bords à petits dents - Fleurs: diam. 2,5 cm.
Bas et tordu, ce rosier a une souche très drageonnante, des tiges grêles, brun rougeâtre et couvertes de spinules. Le feuillage est vert bleuté et finement pubescent : on ne saurait nier son agrément. De mai à août éclosent les petites fleurs isolées, d'un jaune d'or que l'on dit le plus brillant parmi toutes les roses et que des taches marron pourpre foncé, une à la base de chaque pétale, marquent, en se réunissant, d'un faux œil rebordé de moins sombre, autour des étamines d'or. Apparaissent ensuite les petits fruits verts, ronds et spinulés.
Non greffé, ce rosier n'atteint que 0,50 à 0,80 m de hauteur et, dans nos jardins, il ne peut subsister dans la terre! Il lui faut, sur une épaisseur de 0,30 à 0,40 m, un mélange de sable de rivière et de gravats de briques où reste accroché du ciment ou du mortier de chaux. Il y prospère, il y drageonne ! il y fleurit, il y fructifie ! et y supporte admirablement la sécheresse ! Greffé sur Rosa rubiginosa, il atteint une hauteur de 1 à 1,50 m et peut être cultivé dans la terre, comme le commun des rosiers. Il aime le soleil et n'est pas, en tout cas, bien rustique : on ne saurait conseiller de le cultiver sous le climats plus rudes que celui de l'Anjou. Non greffé, il orne les rocailles avec un naturel presque inégalable.

Rosa persica. Genus Rosa is subdivided by some taxonomists into four subgenera: Eurosa, Hulthemia, Platyrhodon and Hesperhodos. Almost all species are within the subgenus Eurosa. Subgenus Hulthemia contains only one species: Rosa persica.
Leaves are entire, not pinnate [ meaning Rosa persica does not have leaflets. ]Shrub grows only 18 inches high. Flowers singly, not in clusters. Native to Iran and Afghanistan, near Caspian and Aral Seas. Easy to grow from seed, hard to keep alive in cultivation.

R. persica Michx. ex Juss.
A thin, straggling bush, 2 or 3 ft. high, with slender, wiry, downy stems furnished with hooked spines....Leaves glaucous, simple (consisting of one leaflet)....Flowers about 1 in. across...Fruits globose....very prickly, crowned by the persisting sepals.
Native of Iran, Afghanistan and of Russia (Central Asia and the steppe region of S.W. Siberia), often found on saline soils....
With regard to the cultivation...Lindley wrote: 'Drought does not suit it, it does not thrive in wet, heat has no beneficial effect, cold no prejudicial influence, care does not improve it, neglect does not injure it.'....it is a fact that this species has not survived in the open for more than a few years in our climate.

Dr. A. S. Thomas.  Rosae et Cetera.  
Jack Harkness is progressing with his hybrids of Hulthemia persica.  He has larger flowers with five to ten petals and retaining the good yellow colouring plus the chestnut-red eye, also more double flowers with the eye less conspicuous, of course, and another with deep orange colouring and the red eye.  They are hardly remontant, he says.

(R. berberifolia Pall., R. simplicifolia Salisb., Hulthemia persica Bornmüller)
Bushes: short, up to 50 cm tall, seldom to 1 m, well branched, branches slim, yellowish cinnamon-coloured, armed with fine prickles.
Foliage: single, sessile, elliptoid, 2 to 3 cm long, edges toothes, green with bluish shading, covered with fine hair.
Blooms: solitary, 4 to 5 cm in diameter, yellow with cinnamon-coloured flecks in the centre.
Fruit: round, fully covered with bristles, green.
Distribution: USSR (Usbekistan), Iran
Seldom cultivated, introduced for the first time in 1790 from Iran to France.
In the first quarter of the 19th century a hybrid was obtained with a crossing with R. clinophylla, introduced 1817 from India, with R. persica. This was names R. x hardii Paxt. and was not hardy. In recent years wester European breeders have shown great interest in the Persian Rose and have used it for crossing experiments wwith Garden roses.
