"The Garden" 21 October 1916, says "Rosa rugosa repens alba - This is a delightful variety for clothing a sloping bank. It also makes a grand weeping standard, as may be judged by the accompanying illusrationof a rather low-spreading standard on the lawn in Mr. E. A. Bowles' garden at Myddelton House, Waltham Cross. So freely are its starry White flowers produced that it has the effect of a snowstorm in June. Messrs. Paul and Son, Cheshunt, who have long made a feature of this Rose, recommend it to be grown as a half-standard on a 3-foot stem..."

My r. paulii has been in situ, ontop of a rocky bank for ten years. In this time it has grown twenty feet in all directions. It has good autumn colour and in mid-summer covers itself in large single white blossoms. The bees love it. However, contrary to HMF's description, I think this plant is female sterile as mine in all these years has never ever set even one hip - despite been surrounded with a multitude of other species roses that bloom at the same time.

Two of the photos of r. rugosa repens (r paulii) are of the separate "rosea" variety.

Rosa x paulii and Rosa rugosa 'Atropurpurea' mistakenly indicated as synonyms
