After going though Hortus Third, Flora of China (to exclude R. beggeriana) and other sources I conclude that my plant is R. canina (leaflets 5-7, 2-3.5 cm long, flowers 1-4, 3-4.5 cm across, hip 11-14 mm long) and not . beggeriana (leaflets 5-9, 0.8-2.5 cm long, flowers several to many, 2.5 cm across, hip 7-9 mm long). They also match with my herbarium specimens from the same place, collected in 1970-75.
