'Luteola' Russia Rosa pimpinellifolia ochroleuca Of more open habit and taller than the last two ['Lutea Maxima' and 'Hispida'], this has pale flowers which often remain in a half-open state. It is hardly worth cultivating, for it cannot compare with R. hugonis,....and others. 6 to 9 feet.

R. pimpinellifolia f. luteola (Andr.) Rehder The rose portrayed by Andrews was flowering in Knight's nursery, Chelsea, in 1821, and was said to be a native of Scotland. The flowers were yellowish, and the armature not unlike that of 'Hispitda', but the leaflets were uncharacteristically elongate...and the flowers were borne in July with a repeat in the autumn...It was probably a hybrid, raised in Scotland.

The name R. ochroleuca has been variously used in gardens....The rose grown by Canon Ellacombe...is obviously a hybrid. Plants distributed commerically as R. ochroleuca are mentioned....under 'Lutea Maxima'.

At the end of the 18th century plants were raised in Sweden from seeds received from Russia and were named R. ochroleuca by Swartz, who further distributed plants and seeds. The first full description, accompanied by an excellent portraint, was published by Wikstrom ...in 1820....Judging from these, R. ochroleuca was very similar to 'Hispida' as indeed Wikstrom pointed out.

The Scotch Roses
All the varieties have a shrubby, compact habit of growth, with heavily-spined wood, the height, varying from about 6 inches to 8 feet, according to the sort.  Some of the smallest in growth would make real gems for the rock garden...  Other varieties might be placed in the background of the rock garden, for even when the bloom is over they form graceful shrubs.  In such a position we might place the
Ochroleuca bears single, golden yellow blossoms which are charming.
