Rosa setipoda Hemsely & Wilson
Bush 1-3 m. tall, flowers pink, fruit coral-red. This well-marked species with its shoots thickly clad with short, stout, flattened prickles is local in its distribution and is known to us only from the northwest corner of Hupeh and the adjacent region of Szech'uan. The inflorescence varies considerably in size, being largely dependent upon vigor of growth.

The striking Rose here figured was met with by Mr. E. H. Wilson in the Fang district in North-western Hupeh, Central China, at from 7000 to 9000 feet above sea-level, when collecting on behalf of Messrs James Veitch & Sons. It was raised by that firm m 1904, and flowered for the first time in their nursery at Coombe Wood in 1909. In the interval the species was described as R. setipoda from herbarium material collected by Mr. Wilson, and at a still earlier date by its original discoverer, Mr. A. Henry. According to both collectors the species is not uncommon in shrubberies m Hupeh. Mr. Wilson describes it as a remarkable rose, recalling by its general facies R. macrophylla, Lindl, with large corymbs of handsome flowers to which a singular appearance is imparted by reason of the long pedicels clothed with spreading gland-tipped bristles, and beset with numerous foliaceous bracts. R setipoda, which appears to be quite hardy, grows vigorously in the rather stiff loam that roses as a whole enjoy. It can be propagated by cuttings made of ripened wood in autumn. The material from our plate was obtained from a bush in the Coombe Wood Nursery of Messrs. Veitch which flowered there in June and July 1913.

Description. — Shrub, 6-10 ft. high, twigs almost glabrous, armed with straight wide-based geminate prickles 1/5-1/3 in. long. Leaves 2 1/2-7 in. long, 7-9-foliolate; rachis shortly glandular and prickly ; leaflets subsessile, wide elliptic, obtuse or subacute, serrate or duplicate-serrate, dark-green above, glaucous beneath, nerves prominent and puberulous, 1 1/4-2 1/2 in. long, 1/3-1 1/4 in. wide; stipules adnate, 2/3-1 in. long, narrowly oblong, acute, margins closely glandular-ciliate. Flowers showy, about 2 in. across, arranged in loose terminal corymb-like cymes; pedicels 1 1/4-2 in. long, glandular-setulose. Receptacle narrowly ovoid-oblong, about 1/3 in. long or rather longer, copiously glandular-setulose. Calyx-lobes ovate-lanceolate, caudate-acuminate, pubescent within, leafy and sharply serrate at the tip, 3/4-1 in. long, spreading or reflexed. Petals wide obcordate, about 1 in. across, pale rose with whitish base. Stamens with glabrous filaments about 1/6 in. long; anthers golden. Carpels rather densely villous; styles 1/4 in. long, villous, Fruit ovoid, narrowed to the apex, deep red, about 1 in. long, tipped by the erect persistent calyx-lobes.

Fig. 1, vertical section of a flower, the petals removed ; 2 and 3, anthers ; 4, carpel and style:- all enlarged.

p. 325: Les figures de Roses que nous donnons dans cette note, ont été extraites de The Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society (1902). Elles accompagnaient un article de M. Maurice de Vilmorin, intitulé : « Some Wild asiatic roses. » Quelques roses sauvages de l’Asie. Les images ont été un peu réduites; ainsi qu’on peut le voir, les dessins originaux sont des photographies d'échantillons d’herbier. 
Le Rosa macrophylla est une espèce déconcertante si on étudie ses variétés : crasseaculeata (à aiguillons épais), acicularis (aiguillons aciculés), rubrostaminea (étamines rouges) et probablement d’autres. Son nom spécifique lui-même, semble bien mal choisi, car il ne parait pas avoir des feuilles plus grandes que nombre d’autres espèces. Quand on lit la description qu’en a donnée Lindley (Mon. p. 33) d’après un échantillon de l’herbier de Banks, on est obligé de conclure que c’est une espèce très polymorphe qui demande de nouvelles études sur le vif.
