For a once-flowerer, it has a long flowering season. In South Australia, Mediterranean climate, where it is a common surviving understock, it starts in early August (winter) and flowers through to November.

Strange to me how this is described as a hybrid Noisette, since it was bred in China before 1811... the Noisette names are ''found'' names presumably..

Paxton's Horticultural Register 4(47): 187 (May 1835)
Edited by James Main, A.L.S.
Mr. Loudon, in the last number of his Arboretum Britannicum, says, that this plant [Magnolia conspicua] was introduced by Sir Joseph Banks along with Hydrandea Hortensia, Paeonia Moutan, and Rosa Indica, about 1789.

[Given the date, this could be the Rosa indica major, but without a description I won't insist.]

However, at the time of his death [1780], Dr. Fothergill had Rosa indica L. in his garden at Upton.

My thought is that the name Rosa indica major came about because of a superficial resemblance to R. indica (R. banksiae or cymosa).

Does anyone know if this rose was ever used as a rootstock in the UK? Are there any old gardens or collections known to have it?

I did have something on this rose written by Martyn Rix but lost on my computer for now... unable to trace on google either... I think it was written for the Historic Roses Group publication, from way back.... so sorry Steve I can't help... maybe Andrew can?..

Not sure if this is it but it's by Rix.

Thanks for checking Andrew but no, not that one, I've got that in my documents.. the one I'm thinking of was from 1999 or thereabouts, and I recall he specifically mentions R. indica Major... I made a point of keeping it and now I can't find it...

Martyn Rix wrote an article on China Roses in the R.N.R.S. Historic Roses Group Spring 1999 journal (No. 17), on page 8, but on a quick look through, I cannot see anything on R. indica major.
There are a few early English references in the HelpMeFind file.

Patricia, thanks for checking on this, and obviously I appear to have mixed something up.. I was 99 percent certain it was in that article which seems to be the one I was referring to... and it's also the one Andrew linked to above as well, - the 1999 article on China Roses written by Rix....I thought it was a different one but that can't be the case now... I feel sure it's a rose he would have talked about, and it's stuck in my memory somewhere...

thanks again...

I should add, it's a very beautiful rose looking at the photos... if that's rootstock I'd want it to sucker...

Hi Marlorena,

I hope you do find the reference, it will be very interesting to read.

I really hope R. Indica Major is available somewhere in some form in this country, as it is such a beautiful looking rose - it reminds me so much of some of Redoute's best paintings. And I had never heard of it until a couple of days ago!

Thanks everyone for their thoughts on this, please keep em coming.....

I've found the links I was referring to above Steve, [if you're still checking in here], but I can't post links for some reason, it disappears off my screen when I try to post...

It wasn't by Rix after all... I found it rummaging around on my computer... it refers to a London publication from 1874 which in turn quotes a French journal detailing how the rose was used as understock, mainly in the south of France though... I'll try to post links another time... there are 3 altogether..
