Lovely photos. May I ask the source of your specimen? Is it smooth?
Thanks, Robert

Hello Robert, our cymosa comes from the garden of Helga Brichet (Umbria Lazio). The leaves are smooth.

Thanks Mark, I wondered if Helga was your source. I've heard she has a nice clone.
I'm watching my cymosa and hoping the more mature growth will have fewer prickles. It's become quite vigorous.

My pink cymosa comes from Helga. Its layout is very large I think that covers an area of 4 square meters. How long have you cultivate cymosa? and why do you hope will mature when the pins are dropped? I think Mother Nature has the cheata with its spines to allow him to where he wants to climb, hedges, trees, pergolas, etc..

Mark, Rosa cymosa came to me as seed from Dr. David Byre of Texas A&M University. It took over two years to germinate but now is growing quite vigorously.
One of my goals is to breed roses free from prickles. That is one of the primary reasons I started working with Rosa banksia.
I'm not sure if I will ever try working with Rosa cymosa but I would prefer to start with a smooth form if possible.
I have created climbers without prickles. They find ways to climb regardless.

You have a very clear goal to reach, your goal does not know him. It will be interesting to use cymosa and be able to cross them to get a hybrid thornless.
Good job.
