Rosa brevistyla ('Short-Styled Rose with Yellowish White Flowers') Description... white, yellowing towards the base of the petals... This comes from the Haut-Poitou in Anjou, and three varieties are recognised, var. systyla being rarer than the others. All three have been sent us from La Flèche by Le Meunier, and we cultivate them successfully.

Stem tall, green, arching ; prickles scattered, stout, falcate, uniform. Leaflets 5-7, oval or elliptical, acute, middle-sized, simply serrated, green and glabrous or pubescent above, slightly pubescent, rarely glabrous beneath ; petioles hardly at all glandular and slightly pubescent ; stipules adnate, gland-ciliated, with ovate-lanceolate free tips. Flowers 3-6, in a corymb ; peduncles glandular; bracts ovate-lanceolate. Calyx-tube ovoid or ellipsoid, naked;  lobes copiously pinnatifid, ¾ in. long, not leaf-pointed, slightly glandular on the back. Petals pink or white, 1 in. long. Styles glabrous, loosely coherent, more or less protruded beyond the very conical disc. Fruit urceolate-globose, red, naked, ripening late ; sepals deciduous.
 
Rosa stylosa Desv. in one or other of its forms is a frequent plant in the southern counties of England and extends eastward to Styria and Hungary. The typical species is characterized by its very broad-based prickles with hooked point, leaflets hairy on both sides, simply serrate, long, somewhat glandular, hispid peduncles, glabrous styles more or less decidedly exserted from a very conical disc, and white flowers ; but much the commoner form both in Britain and on the continent is Rosa systyla Bast., regarded by some as a mere variety, differing from the type in its larger, more widely spaced leaflets, narrower in proportion, glabrous above and only thinly hairy beneath, and pale rose flowers. There are several other varieties, the more prominent of which are Rosa leucochroa Desv., which may be regarded as Rosa systyla with white flowers, though it is very often much more canina-like in character than either Rosa stylosa or Rosa systyla . This form is a very common one in the south-west of England and was formerly miscalled Rosa collina Jacq. Rosa virginea Rip. is a small form with smooth peduncles, white flowers and subglobose fruit.
In addition to its glabrous, exserted style-column and very conical disc, Rosa stylosa in most of its forms can be distinguished from Rosa canina L. by its long peduncles with much narrower bracts. It is distinguished from Rosa arvensis Huds. by its stronger, more assurgent growth, and usually by its hairy leaflets, rose-coloured flowers, and shorter, much less firmly united style-columns. But some of its varieties approach that species very closely, and it also forms hybrids therewith.
