May Appeal 2026

Please help keep TSO growing!

IDS Trees and Shrubs Online has become a fundamental source of reliable information about cultivated woody plants, freely available to everyone, everywhere. We hope you find it useful.

For the first time we are asking our users if you could support us.

If everyone who uses TSO during May 2026 gives just £10, we would cover our costs for a whole year, enabling us to accelerate our work.

Near to R. rubus, but the leaflets sometimes seven and the flowers larger on more slender pedicels up to 1{1/2} in. long, in a laxer inflorescence. It was raised in the R.H.S. Garden at Wisley from seeds collected by Forrest during his 1917–9 expedition to Yunnan and was named by Boulenger in honour of Brian Mulligan, then Assistant to the Director at Wisley, who sent him specimens for identification. A rose distributed as R. longicuspis is near to R. mulliganii and possibly from the same batch of seed.
