Dears,
I have photographed these roses from the same locality in Himachal Pradesh - about 800 m asl near Sundernagar in Mandi district. Of all the wild plants, only one plant was having pinkish flowers. I have not had the chance to revisit the locality again. Dr. G S Goraya, IFS Deputy Director General (Research), Indian Council of Forestry Research & Education, New Forest P.O., Dehradun - 248006.

The 'pink' flowered one does not seem to match the first two images. Were they from different locations? Pink-flowered variants of Rosa brunonii are known from Bhutan, so the flower colour alone does not preclude it from being R.brunonii. See my posts about the COMPLEXITIES of the genus Rosa. Rosa brunonii seems to be the widespread climbing rose typically with white or cream flowers. But other species (and cultivated hybrids) are known. My post about Rosa in Britain & Ireland indicates that a leading specialist who is currently acting as Referee for specimens of Rosa states that one cannot DETERMINE a species of Rosa in the UK on the basis of flowers alone! FULLY-DEVELOPED HIPS are required along with portions of leading stem (not suckers) with leaves and characteristic bristles; a sample of sepals is beneficial.......

Usually having white flowers, I have recorded one plant with pinkish flowers.. Hope it is also the same species with some colour variation... or may be a result of some hybridisation..
