Notes:
See COMMENTS & QUESTIONS for more detail. Fred Boutin notes that 'Alika' is a selection of Rosa gallica grandiflora that Niels Ebbesen Hansen selected at the Regel & Kesselring Nursery in St. Petersburg, Russia and introduced to North America in 1906. In his catalogs Regel listed this rose as a species/wild rose rather than as a garden cultivar. According to a Norwegian study, 'Alika' is also said to be synonymous with 'Rosa gallica splendens'

In commerce in the USA by 1930. See REFERENCES.
