What a terrific new tool you've given us to better I.D. all the different Rosas. Thank you! I wasn't aware of R. rubignosa as an important option to consider. I bet there are quite a few-identifications out there.

I'll be adding your 2 references to all my current and future Rosa observations in observation Notes:

PS: I also appreciate your links to many online references and projects, listed on your INat Profile page, to help identify a large variety of species.

Thanks again!
