Rosa lucieae (syn. Rosa wichurana), the memorial rose, is a species of rose native to eastern Asia.[1][2]
Description[]
It is a woody, semi-evergreen shrub, with long trailing thorny branches of glossy green leaves, and single five-petalled white flowers with prominent yellow stamens in Summer; followed by small dark red hips. It can grow to 6 m (20 ft). It is named after the German botanist Max Ernst Wichura (1817–1866), with the suffix -iana.
Uses[]
While it is valued as a garden plant in its own right, R. lucieae is also a parent of several rose hybrids, notably , 'Albéric Barbier', 'New Dawn' and 'Albertine'. Its vigorous, rambling habit makes it particularly suitable for forming an impenetrable barrier at ground level, or for scrambling up large trees.[3] It has been introduced to the United States.[4]
