Editor. 
Highdownensis is a softer shade [than Geranium] tending more to pink but still a very telling shrub.  I would like to see either of them growing against a dark green hedge as I think that would really show off their lovely blooms and also the heps and even their bare yellow-barked branches in winter.

Rosa Moyesii and Rosa Fargesii are evidently from the same parentage, and R. Highdownensis may be the same. These three are beautiful at all times, and when in fruit it would be hard to find anything finer. I have grown Moyesii from seed repeatedly and nearly always get the same results in colour—light pink to red—but on two occasions the colour had been better than the imported plant, and one of them berries more freely. Fargesii has repeated itself from seed, but has never given a Moyesii. Highdownensis from seed has never been as bright as the parent.
