Rosa bella Rehd. & E.H.Wils. = Cinnamomeae. Chine septentrionale, introduit en 1910. Feuilles: 7 ou 9 folioles, elliptiques, bords à dents fines, ressemblant à celles de Rosa moyesii, mais plus petites. Fleurs: 4 à 5cm de diamètre, solitaires à ternées. Fruits: 1,80cm de longueur. Les tiges velues ont des aiguillons droits, en petit nombre, bleuâtres et lisses, sauf sur la nervure médiane qui est lisse. Les fleurs roses et parfumées s’épanouissent en juin; elles ont les pétales presque cordés, comme ceux de Rosa moyesii. Mais les fruits diffèrent sensiblement de ceux de cette espèce: ovoïdes, écarlate orangé, ils se terminent graduellement en pointe.

R. bella Reh. & Wils. This species, said to be widely distributed in N. China, is included in R. webbiana by Boulenger. It was described from plants raised at the Arnold Arboretum from seeds collected by William Purdom in Shansi, and introduced by him to the USA, but is scarcely known in this country, even from herbarium specimens. Plants grown as R. bella do not agree well with the original descriptions and are of uncertain identity.

George Langdale
Mr. E. F. Allen, President of the R.N.R.S ., spoke at Oxford on ''Long Shots in Rose Breeding" and of his own work in preparing a breeding strategy. He told of his results to date using the species rose Rosa Bella and mentioned that he had some repeat flowering, disease resistant F1 seedlings from Rosa Bella x Flamenco. He suggested that more amateur rose breeders should follow his strategy of using species in an effort to breed 'new blood' and better disease resistance into garden roses for the future. He said that another good species rose to try is Rosa Davidii. Both Rosa Bella and Rosa Davidii are tetraploids, but he suggested that when using species diploids with floribundas or hybrid teas, the chosen variety should be the seed parent crossed with the species rose. He did emphasize, however, that breeding with species is a long-term programme.

R. bella - Northwest China. A most appropriate Name meaning "the beautiful". It is best as a pillar, growing compact to six or eight feet. In June it is literally covered with small clusters of flowers, carmine pink, overcast with lavender, about two inches in diamaeter. In late summer almost every flower produces an elongated berry like a large eardrop of red coral. The foliage is handsome; closely related to R. moyesy, but a better shrub.

Chinese Roses.
Rosa bella, introduced by the Arboretum from northern China into western gardens, has never been injured here by the cold. It is a tall stout shrub which produces every year in June great numbers of large rose-red flowers followed by showy fruits. A good garden plant for cold countries, Rosa bella might in the hands of a skilful plant breeder have a useful influence in a new race of hardy Roses.
