In "Progress in Breeding Hardy Roses," Isabella Preston says,

A number of seedlings were grown from a plant raised by cross pollinating the Ross rose with pollen from a variety of rugosa X Eglanteria parentage. These varied greatly as one would expect from such mixed parentage but none showed any sign of the climbing habit. Several are being kept but so far only one has been named. It makes a large bush seven feet tall and is well clothed with leaves which have a faint sweetbrier fragrance. The single flowers are white and there are a dozen or more in a cluster but the special interest of this plant is the continuous blooming habit. In 1945 the first blooms opened on June 11 and all summer long the bush was never without a flower and even on October 18, there were buds ready to open as well as bright red hips. It has been named Nascapee.
