The Rose Manual (Buist) 1844 p. 29
The variety called Elegans, which is generally grown in Ohio and Kentucky, and in some places called Chillicothe Multiflora, has been cultivated here for five years; it is not so double [as Feast’s hybrids], of a pink colour, seeds more freely, and when hybridized by the Perpetual and Chinese Roses, will give, no doubt, many varieties. I have now a few hundred plants, one and two years old, obtained in that manner, which exhibit in their growth great diversity of character, but have not yet bloomed. They are all very easily propagated by layering in July: give the shoot of the present year's growth a twist, and then bury the twisted part six inches under ground; in November it will be well rooted, and can then be cut off and transplanted in any desired situation; the tasteful husbandman may thus cover every unsightly fence rail.

This rose is best in light shade, cool, damp areas of the US, originally found in openings of river bottoms. I tried to keep it well watered, in a dry zone 5, but even though it tried to make new growth, it finally died.
(R. setigera serena, the thornless version, needs the same requirements.)
