Notes:
Rosa lucida has been used inconsistently to refer to several different rose species. Rosa humilis has been used for both R. virginiana and R. carolina, which were sometimes considered synonymous by earlier botanists.

Lloyd Brace at The Roseraie at Bayfields says this rose has pale pink, single blooms. Its foliage turns red in the fall and it sets bright red shiny hips.

The fully double variety in horticulture is known as Rosa virginiana var. plena hort. ex Rehder. See References.
