It has been disappointing that during the past few decades of old rose gathering from waysides in the U.S. only one Setigera hybrid has been uncovered. Yet it is a rose of such exceptional beauty, that we ought to be very pleased. The rose which I stumbled across at an old house on the North Coast of California, has been found as well at a site in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. My foundling is named for the town in which I found it, and for the colour and form of the blooms; Arcata Pink Globe. It’s doppelgänger from the Gold Country is known as the Moser House Shed Rose. The flowers come in great abundance, late in the season, are medium-sized, and coloured blush pink with a lilac tint. It is sweetly scented.

"Arcata Pink Globe" Rambler. Fair Rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Lax and trailing. Unknown, found. Discovered in Arcata, California, a globular, blush-pink rose with long, rambling canes. I had thought this to be a climbing old Noisette type like Aimee Vibert Scandens, but now believe this to be a Rambler, perhaps an old Setigera hybrid.
