Rosa xanthina Lindl. non Crép. - Syn. R. xanthina plena Hort. Northern China, Korea. Introduced in 1906. 1,50 to 3 m high. 7-13 leaflets, ovoid or elliptical, 0.8 to 2 cm. long, bordered with blunt serration. Blooms: 4 to 5 cm diam., solitary or in pairs. Fruit: not seen. Unknown in nature, this was found in the garden of a chinese mandarin. One finds it in cultures in Korea and in the north of China and since a century when it was introduced in Great Britain under the name of Rosa slingeri...a synonym now forgotten. In May-June it gives semi-double or double blooms, with up to 20 petals.

1907 Frank N. Meyer sent the double yellow R. xanthina from Peking to the U.S.A. and two years later sent the single form var. spontanea from Lushang in Shantung province.

R. xanthina Lindl. Upright shrub, 1.5-3 m./5-10 ft. high, stems brown, with straight prickles, shoots completely without bristles; leaflets 7-13, 1-2 cm./0.4-0.8 in. long, obtuse, serrate, bald above, stipules narrow and glandular; flowers 1-2, golden yellow, 4-5 cm./1.6-2 in. across, single or semi-double, May-June; pistils degenerated; fruits not yet observed. 2 n = 14. N. China, Korea; found in cultivation. At first known only from Chinese paintings, then later the double form was found in the garden of a Mandarin; much later the single, wild species was discovered.

R. xanthina Lindl. A shrub up to 12 ft high, with a uniform armature of straight or slightly curved prickles which are...narrowed from a broad base...in some forms the branches are sparsely armed. Leaflets five to thirteen...edged with simple, rather coarse teeth....Stipules narrow. Flowers usually solitary, bright yellow, about 1½ in. wide...pedicels usually less than 1 in. long...Fruits globular to broadly ellipsoid, red or maroon, soon falling, crowned by the erect, spreading or reflexed sepals.
R. xanthina was described by Lindley in 1820 from a Chinese painting in Lambert's library...:"A rose with all the appearance of R. spinosissima except in having no setae and double flowers the colour of R. sulphurea." ...There is the further difference that the fruits are ....red or brownish red in R. xanthina.
Typical R. xanthina....has double flowers and later proved to be a common garden plant in N. China and Korea. There is no record of its introduction to western gardens before 1907, when F. N. Meyer sent seeds to the Arnold Arboretum...from which both double- and single-flowered plants were raised, which first flowered in 1915....The double flowered rose distributed by Smith of Newry as early as 1915 under the name R. xanthina appears to have been a hybrid of R. spinosissima with double flowers.

Rehder (1940) provides the following criteria to distinguish between R. hugonis and R. xanthina:
R. hugonis: Bristles on main shoot present, 5-13 leaflets per leaf, leaflets oval, obovate or elliptical, 5cm flowers
R. xanthina: Bristles on main shoot absent, 7-13 leaflets per leaf, leaflets oval, suborbicular, rarely elliptical, 4cm flowers
Herbarium specimens of the two species were virtually indistinguishable: they were usually represented by lateral branches, so the character of 'main shoots with or without bristles' could not be used. Most flowers were imperfectly preserved....The two species could not be distinguished on number and shape of leaflets alone, as the overlap considerably....
...R. hugonis and R. xanthina do not deserve separate status as species and it is proposed to unite them retaining the former at the lowest rank of forma, viz.

Notre regretté collègue Raymond Chenault possédait à Orléans une variété à fleurs doubles (R. hugonis Flore-pleno) d'un coloris jaune d'or, plus foncées que celles de l'espèce type.

« Rosa hugonis à fleurs doubles ». Au cours d'un voyage à BOSTON, Monsieur Raymond CHENAULT rapporta cet arbuste de l'Arnold Arboretum. En 1958, j'eus la joie de recevoir des boutures offertes par M. CHENAULT. Sur 3, une seule à survécue. La floraison est de courte durée, mais les petites fleurs bien doubles, jaune beurre frais ressemblant à celies de « Persan Yellow » sont très jolies. Le feuillage est le même que celui de « Rosa Hugonis » et rappelle celui de l'acacia, en petit format bien entendu !
