A lofty climber with very thick stems, very conspicuous in the 
forests by reason of its large white flowers. A walking-stick 
made from a stem of this Rose has been deposited in the Kew 
Museum. 
It is doubtful whether this is more than a very luxuriant state 
of R. indica, Linn., for some of the older specimens have flowers 
no more than 2 to 24 inches in diameter, and the flowers are 
sometimes corymbose.
