ROSA HELENAE from central China is an exceptionally beautiful , vigorous bush with shiny attractive foliage and clustering white flowers . Its hybrid - Helenae hybrida is even more beautiful and is , moreover , more hardy than the actual species.  In June it is a typical overhanging bush covered with charming yellow-white or pure white small flowers, and carrying, until far into the winter, equally many small tile-red hips. This description might also apply to Rosa multiflora where it not for a difference of growth. Helenae is more vigorous, more erectly pendant and retains its foliage longer into autumn. In Helenae the flowers carry an air of grace and pure white chastity to be found in no other wild rose. Moreover, it smells delightfully. It suffered but little damage from the frosts of 1940.
