'R. primula' rose Reviews & Comments

|
I got R. primula from Belle Epoque, Holland, two years ago. Thd foliage is very small, shiny, and extremely fragrant, even pungent at close range. This must be the true species. I had one from another nursery years ago and it had no scented foliage.
R. primula is from a continental hot-summer climates, so likely will be short-lived here (Finland). There were a few flowers on my plant last summer and I was able to collect some pollen. I pollinated R. rubiginosa with it and got a small number of seeds. My aim is to create hybrids with fragrant foliage and better adaptation to our climate. Another hybrid partner could be R. glutinosa.

Thanks, Gmc. In my dreams there would be a mix of fragrance genes in the progeny so that completely new notes would emerge from the pine, apple-mint and incense scents of these species. A bit like in scented geraniums. :)

Would this rose grow in a cool damp climate?

How do I create a listing for a rose that I bred? I have a seedling of R. primula, that I've named already, and I want to add it to HMF. It's name is Gizi's Rose.

Probably the best species rose I have ever seen or grown, and, sadly, it is extremely hard to find!
