Rosa brunonii ABMAY2019/02

[Ashwini Bhatia]

The flowering season for this rose is coming to an end slowly. We have some bushes in flower still but most are now covered in the remnants of flowers (devoid of petals). I photographed certain features this season and am sharing them here for the record. We have had a very fruitful discussion on the differences between R. moschata and R. brunonii before and some of the features distinguishing brunonii are: young leaves pubescent, prickles hooked and an early flowering season. There is a lovely illustration of the species on Wikispecies here. I have also tried to show here the hairy stigma, stipules and bracteoles, and the seeds contained within a rose hip (I found one from the previous season). Please advise if I am making a mistake in interpreting this evidence.

I found the number of leaflets reaching 11 occasionally. So I will say leaflets (5)7-9(11) for the species. Also the relative size of leaflets on one leaf may or may not differ significantly. On some leaves the size of leaflet pairs decreases down from the terminal leaf, on others all leaflets are more or less the same size and still on some the lowermost pair is the smallest while others are similar sized. Hairs on the petioles and peduncles can be white or red glandular or a mixture of the two kinds.

Thanks.
