I really like the natural beauty of the Rosa species. I've grown a few
species up to now (R. eglanteria, R. rugosa, R. acicularis, R. henryii,
and R. glauca) but I've decided to make a real species rose garden this
spring. So, from Forest Farm (www.forestfarm.com) I ordered the following:

R. arkansana
R. arvensis
R. banksiae 'Lutea'
R. bella
R. blanda
R. brunonii
R. carolina
R. chinensis mutabilis
R. 'Complicata'
R. davurica
R. dumalis
R. dupontii
R. foliolosa
R. gymnocarpa
R. helenae
R. hugonis
R. laevigata
R. nitida
R. nutkana
R. pendulina
R. pimpinellifolia
R. roxburghii
R. rugosa 'Therese Bugnet'
R. setigera
R. setipoda
R. stylosa
R. virginiana
R. woodsii
R. xanthina

Okay, some of them are not, strictly speaking, species but those that
aren't are probably within a generation or two of the species level,
anyway. They arrived yesterday (except R. roxburghii which was out of
stock) and I will plant them either this weekend (if it doesn't rain as
hard as they expect) or the next (if it does). I'm psyched! Just
thought I'd share my excitement since I cannot actually do anything with
them tonight.

I didn't see R. Souliana on that list, unless the name has changed.

Take a look at mine on:

But you do need lots of room :-).

R. soulieana is the propper spelling. I've got plenty of space (a 10
acre field) but there's only so much I can dig up at once. What I have
now should keep me busy for a while. That one is on my list, though.
