Meet William III, one of either a ‘double red’ or ‘double dark-coloured Scotch rose’ that Joseph Sabine first described in 1822 in the Horticultural Society of London Journal, as British researcher, historian and former museums curator Peter Boyd recounts:
‘Amongst the modern additions to the ornaments of our gardens, the varieties of Double Scotch Roses stand deservedly very high in estimation; their beauty is undisputed, and as they come into flower full three weeks before the general collection of garden Roses, they thus protract the period of our enjoyment of this delightful genus.’
This cultivar of Rosa pimpinellifolia (also known as R. spinosissima) was generously given to me by Kiewa Valley plantsman @alanayton when, in autumn 2018, he offered a fine selection of plants he’d grown to our @opengardensvictoria visitors.

Introduction
The true Scots Roses are cultivars of Rosa spinosissima (syn. R. pimpinellifolia) and some hybrids of the species that have similar character. They are sometimes known as Pimpinellifolias. However, that term is often used to include hybrids of R. spinosissima which are not what I regard as typical Scots Roses, and is sometimes used, in an even broader sense, to embrace other species within section Pimpinellifoliae (e.g. R. ecae, R. foetida, R. hugonis, R. primula, R. sericea and R. xanthina).
