This is a slender variety of the Chinese Rose, with lanceolate 
leaflets, two or three inches long by a quarter of an inch broad. The 
flowers are smaller than in the type, and the flowering shoots usually 
without prickles. 
Lindley calls it the willow-leaved Chinese Rose, and adds that it 
has little to recommend it to notice. 
This Rose is figured by Andrews^ under the name of Rosa fraxi- 
nellaefolia.
