The current accepted name for this species is Rosa caesia Sm.

See:

We have Rosa caesia Sm as the current name of the species Rosa coriifolia Fries. Rosa coriifolia froebelii is the understock introduced by Froebel in 1890 (Laxa). Added a clarification.

Thanks, but shouldn't this actually be listed as a cultivar of R. caesia, then? If you check the link, you'll see that R. coriifolia var. froebelii is listed as synonym of Rosa caesia along with R. coriifolila. It should really be listed as such in the names section, along with a good clarification. The best name would seem to be Rosa caesia 'Froebelii'.

Kew lists it as a heterotypic synonym, which means it is not exactly the same, but a variant. The names in our listings are based on the references. HMF is not a botanical site and we do not add new names without a reference. In any case, it is more important to keep the listing of the understock separate from the general species.

ON THE ORIGIN OF THE MOSS ROSE
Major C. C. Hurst, D.L.
Read at the British Association on Sept, 12, 1921.

I note that Dr. Galloway, of the U.S.A. Department of Agriculture (1920), refers R. laxa, Hort., to R. coriifolia var. Froebeli, but as Dr. Heslop Harrison points out, after a comparison of my material with his northern forms of R. coriifolia, Fries, the characteristic broad, flat, woolly head of stigmas, that distinguishes R. coriifolia, Fries, is absent in R. laxa, Hort.

I don't know if you are still looking but I have a rose that I am 99% sure is the rose you are looking for. I can send you cuttings.

Oh yes I am! Cuttings would be most welcome if weather permits. I'm near San Antonio, and it's going to be pretty hot here for at least the next week or so, according to the 10-day forecast. I'll be happy to pay postage (and whatever!) if you can send them a quick way, probably with a cold pack in the box? They seem to be easy from seed, too, so last year's seed would be good also, if there is still any on the plants. My old plants in CO always held their fruit well into the next summer.

This is a very hard rose to find, I guess because it's not a reallly gorgeous one. I want it for my little dog graveyard on our place -- thought it was appropriate.
