Rosa longifolia ('Peach-leaved Rose') Description... Stem almost unarmed, long and tall in the East Indies where it grows, but dwarf and weakly in the climate of France... petals 10-12, unequal, soft pink sometimes variegated with white spots... This modification of the China Rose belongs in the indica group... R. indica is confirmed by Bounder of Dijon who obtained an almost identical rose in 1810 from seed of the Common China save that the petals were strap like, similar to the rays of a sunflower. This rose is not common and needs an orangery. Nurseries know it as R. persicifolia...

R. persicifolia x salicifolia Hort.

This is a slender variety of the Chinese Rose, with lanceolate leaflets, two or three inches long by a quarter of an inch broad. The flowers are smaller than in the type, and the flowering shoots usually without prickles.
Lindley calls it the willow-leaved Chinese Rose, and adds that it has little to recommend it to notice.
This Rose is figured by Andrews¹ under the name of Rosa fraxinellaefolia .

ROSA Indica salicifolia.
Willow-leaved Indian Rose.

SPECIFIC CHARACTER. Rose with nearly egg-shaped seeds, and peduncles smooth; flowers semi-double, of a deep flesh-colour, and twisted; leaves smooth and shining; petioles prickly; leaflets lance shaped and flexuose, with finely serrated margins; stem slender, green; spines towards the base scattered and red.

This new species of China Rose was introduced to this country about the year 1815. The foliage affords a very good specific title by which it may at any time, in or out of bloom, be always recognised. It is a graceful semi-double rose with little or no scent; and although the smooth, shining, graceful appearance of the leaves is some compensation to the visual ray for the absence of that compliment to the olfactory nerve, yet we cannot help regretting the want of that fragrance so abundant in the old and long-domesticated common rose.
