This-one looks like a (semi-)double, in contrary to other photo's and the description.
Very nice foliage... and no prickles to be seen.
Did the plant have prickles?
I'm not acquainted with this rose and am NOT questioning if it is correct or accurate.
Just curious!

The rose in Question had about 8 petals and I do not remember any prickles.it was found growing after a forest fire in really rocky, shale, soil. the only rose that it could be is the ground rose. I believe it only grows in California and Oregon.
there is a nursery in France that may have this rose for sale.

It would be interesting to grow this rose, pruned and fed with potash.

It may be a little hard to grow because they come up after a forest fire.
