The latest edition of American Rose, July/August 2024, contains a most interesting article about roses in Romania, by Angela Bokor. Judging from the photos of lavish public gardens, Romania would seem to have a near perfect climate for roses. Reference is made to a species "endemic to the Cozia Mountains", 'Rosa coziae', pg. 29. There is a picture on the same page, 29, which shows a semidouble partly opened pink rose with long sepals and either mossing or bristles. Is this species perhaps known to HMF under some other name?

We have now added Rosa coziae. There seem to be differing opinions on botanists whether this is a species or not. Some have it as a synonym of Rosa villosa L. Considering that the 1955 naming is not a valid publication, it should probably be regarded as one of the many local subspecies of Rosa villosa L.
