Rosa sertata is found from central China to Shanghai on the East China Sea. From seed collected by "Chinese" Wilson a plant was named and described in 1913 by the English botanist Robert Allen Rolfe. His Latin epithet "sertata" means garlands. Likely Rolfe is referring to the species elegantly drooping chains of flowers with "finely cut, daintily formed leaves." Indeed, sertata is a "handsome Rose."
