Rosa fedtschenkoana Regel. A very handsome rose from the Turkestan and Kokand regions of central Asia. It is a much-branched, very prickly shrub, with compound leaves 4 to 5 inches long and large white flowers occurring singly or as many as four in a cluster. The red fruits are somewhat pear shaped. When introduced into England this rose developed into a rambling, free-growing shrub, which flowered in the month of June.
