The result is a vigorous and hardy plant with a tendency to climb high. The spines and foliage are like those of the pollen parent, but the tiowers are clustered like those of the Rosa raulnilora. appearing in clusters of from ten to forty, and as the different buds on the clusters come into bloom in succession, the flowering season is continued for a long time.
