Based on 'Canary Bird' that I studied today, I am not convinced that this is a Hybrid Rubiginosa. While the foliage is glandular and scented, I do not peg the scent as apple-scented. Secondly, the blooms have distinct foetida linseed-oil scent. I think it's too soon to rush to reclassify this rose as a Hybrid Rubiginosa.

Cass, can you tell something about the number of leaflets of the Canary Bird you studied? The descriptions of Sangerhausen and Krüssmann differ widely in this respect. Without having seen it, it may well be that the plant at Sangerhausen is something different.

Misidentification could occur here as well. The plant is not especially well-grown. I saw only 7 leaflets I could count in my pictures. The hips were perfectly round, sepals persistent but not upright; instead, they were more horizontal, if that makes sense (I don't know the botanical term). The foetida scent of the blooms was very noticable. Linseed oil scent is not unique to foetida. Rosa fedtschenkoana also has that scent.

The reason I mentioned the scented foliage is that Rosa primula is known for its scented foliage. The hips on Canary Bird were a very good match for this shot on HMF:

When I return to the garden, I will look again at the plant and try to get a good leaflet count.

Canary Bird really doesn't like to be pruned so you just cut out the dead and diseased canes. This rose tends to get die back when pruned.
