Rosa omeiensis f. pteracanth syn. Rosa sericea subsp. omeiensis f. pteracanth, Rosa omeiensis var. pteracantha

So pleased to see this flower. I thought I had lost this wonderful rose as it is having to fight out with a Rosa Rugosa that is so tough it is coming up in the lawn 🤔

Always good to see something you'd thought you'd lost!👍🏼 would've been a shame, this is such a lovely colour 💛

Absolutely Rachel & it's an amazing rose. One of Christopher Lloyd's favourites. The flowers are pretty but the stems with their translucent thorns are what makes it. I will take another photo once I have freed it from the rugosa prison 😉 @rachelbrooks
