Could any-one comment on the photo's I uploaded for this Rose, for its identity is questioned.
Someone thinks, that it is in fact R. carolina.

From our photos, I think you (in the Netherlands) and I (in Australia) have the same rose. I can vaguely remember reading, somewhere, that because R. virginiana got to Europe in 1724, many different clones developed over the years. There is good line drawing of R. Carolina from Th. Nietner, "Die Rose", 1880 in HelpMeFind, but no equivalent one of R. virginiana. For what they are worth I will attach here blurry photocopies of both roses from the reprinted Parsons’ illustrations in Ellen Willmott’s ‘The Genus Rosa’. The photos of R. carolina from HelpMeFind’s member Tesilvers could also be looked at.
From the photos taken by hmfusr of R. virginiana at the Werribee State Rose Garden, Melbourne, they probably have another species there, for her photo No. 249754 shows smooth receptacles.

Thank You Patricia, for Your answer.
But as You said it's difficult, especially for me from copies of copies.
The doubtful person said that R. carolina spreads on by roots and that R. virginiana doesn't...
But if that is true? I doubt that.
