Added, but this is a tricky one. Is it a distinct species, or a synonym? Then there is also Rosa mexicana Willd. = Rose montezumae.

Thanks Jedmar,
I just learned that John Kunkel Small in North American Flora vol. 22 lists this as a synonym of Rosa serrulata Raf. Ann. Gén. Sci. Phys. 5: 218. 1820. I added the entry to R. serrulata references.

And W. H. Lewis has classed it as a dwarf subspecies of R. carolina in 2008!
