According to my books, Scots roses were popular between 1790 and 1830 when there were several hundred in commerce...
It is a prickly litle shrub, reaching under a metre in height, the hips are round and black.
As it suckers freely, mine is a grafted variety because I bought mine at
a rose nursery. I have other Scots roses growing on their own roots, we do
have the space for them to spread. The scent is musky.
