Thanks for supplying the information.
My records indicate that Rosa brunonii has not been found below 1220m before so 
800m is significantlylower.
Given its low altitude and thus proximity to habitation the appearance of being 
wild COULD just mean ithas naturalised.
Interesting.
Please note my other comments as to the challenges of identifying roses.

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.

It would be helpful to know where and at what altitude in H.P. these roses were 
found?   The 'pink' flowered one does not seem to match the first twoimages.  
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 
cannotDETERMINE a species of Rosa in the UK on the basis of flowers alone!   
FULLY-DEVELOPED HIPS are required along with portions of leading stem 
(notsuckers) with leaves and characteristic bristles; a sample of sepals is 
beneficial.......

Dears,
Find below pics of Rosa moschata (R. brunonii) from Himachal Pradesh. 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.. Comments are solicited pl.
