R. x rapa = similar to a turnip, because of the elongated form of the calyx and of the hips)- This rose - a chance seedling - has perfectly beautiful buds, the pure pink blooms expand round as a circle. From July to August, this graceful, upright and dense shrub decorates itself with its dainty roses , and one understands why it ia also called 'Rose d'Amour'.
