Rose Listing Omission
R. rugosa variegata
I saw a variegated form of R. rugosa in Trevor Griffith's Book of Classic Old Roses (1986); I don't know if this might already be listed on HMF under a different name-- I thought I might check into it. I took a photo from the book that I could post. It is a typical-looking single rugosa but with some leaf variegation.

I don’t think we did have it listed Sambolingo. So I have added it as ‘Variegata (rugosa, unknown, before 1986)’. Beyond looking in Trevor’s books, I haven’t searched for other references. (I’d spend half the day ploughing through all the other Variegatas). I can’t help thinking this might have been a R. Rugosa typica / Scabrosa type of rose with some sort of mineral deficiency like Magnesium.

Sheffield’s Seed Company sells seeds of “Schmid’s Ideal,” with the description “This selection has been popular in Europe for many years as a rootstock for budding rose varieties.” Could Schmid’s Ideal be the same as Schmid’s Unterlage?

I have added a few references to both 'Schmidt's Ideal' and 'Schmidt's Unterlage'.
It seems Schmidt's Unterlage might have been also called 'Schmidt's Special'.
Some references refer to both Schmidt's Ideal and to Schmidt's Special, so it appears they were two different rootstocks.

Definitely the real glutinosa! Glad others are posting photos of it, as it seems confused with other species roses. Its a cool rose. Not terribly big, and has a lot of neat properties.

It seems like it would appeal more to people than the rubiginosa bunch would since glutinosa's more compact. I'm glad that a nursery is selling it.
