Probably a hybrid between R.gigantea and cultivated R x odorata. Per Phillips & Rix. The Japanese "Encyclopedia of Roses" ascribes this to Roger Phillips and Martyn Rix.

Guolang Wong has identified a plant of "Lijang Rose" in an Italian garden as Rosa odorata var. erubescens.

According to Girija and Viru Viraraghavan, in India, Lijiang Rose can repeat bloom when conditions are right for the rose. See MEMBER COMMENTS.
