Species roses growing at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont, California as of 2013. Includes accession number, name, county of origin (plus Baja California, Mexico), and bed location in the garden. Rosa minutifolia 'Pure Bea' is a white flowered introduction by RSABG. Rosa californica 'First Dawn' features pale pink, cupped flowers and is an introduction by Suncrest Nurseries. First Dawn is a particularly free-flowering and heavily-scented selection. From seeds collected in the wild, First Dawn was the best seedling and chosen for its beautiful flowers and growth habit. Rosa californica 'Los Berros' is an introduction of Native Sons Nursery. It has large, flat, medium pink flowers and larger foliage than other Rosa californicas. It was named for the road it was found growing on--Los Berros--in Arroyo Grande, California

R. minutifolia, accession number 16861, growing in BedCO15 at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont, CA on November 13, 2011. This plant, and others near it in BedCO15, appear to have a more upright growth habit than the R. minutifolia growing in BedCO9 and in the container garden. Also, the flowers and buds on this plant are definitely pink, whereas buds appearing on a plant in BedCO9 and 3 plants in the container garden look violet.
