Rosa odorata is one of the three members of Rosa sect. Chinenses (Ku and Robertson 2003) and was first described as a variety of R. indica (Andrews 1810). Sweet (1818) subsequently treated it as a separate species. Four varieties of this species are currently recognized: R. odorata var. gignatea, var. odorata, var. erubescens (Focke) T. T. Yu & T. C. Ku, var. pseudindica (Lindley) Rehder (Table 1: Ku and Robertson 2003).
