More information

The deep pink Hybrid Moyesii rose, with the exhibition name 'Doncasterii', was bred by Dr. C.C. Hurst in the United Kingdom around 1930. It was introduced by J. Burrell and Co. under the name 'Rosa doncasterii 'Macrophylla'. This variety is a Hybrid Macrophylla, Hybrid Moyesii, and Hybrid Roxburghii. The blooms are carmine-pink, large, and single with 4-8 petals, typically borne solitary or in clusters. This rose blooms once in spring or summer.

It is an arching, upright, and well-branched plant with few or no prickles. The foliage is large and matte, consisting of 7 to 9 leaflets. The plant reaches a height of 6 feet 1 inch to 9 feet 10 inches (185 to 300 cm) and a width of 4 feet (120 cm). It is suitable for USDA zones 4b through 9b and is known for being vigorous. Additionally, it produces decorative hips. The rose is a seedling of Rosa macrophylla Lindl. The patent status is unknown, and it was named in honor of Mr. E. Doncaster of J. Burrell and Co. in Cambridge, England.
