Cili fruit, Rosa roxburghii (forum)

John Mc starts with ...
Anyone have it?
Belongs to the Rosa family, probably more commonly known as Chestnut rose, or Burr Rose because of the spines on the stems congregate all over the fruit husk (hip).
Native to China and has brought about my interest due to its extremely high vitamin C content.
It could possibly be already in Aus as blackspot resistant rootstook for common roses, but the specific cv I'm interested in is Rosa roxburghii,Tratt.
I haven't been able to find out much about it so far, maybe someone here has it?
It's blended into a commercial health drink with Sea Buckthorn and GAC fruit and others.

Chiltern seeds (UK) and B & T World Seeds both have it in their cataloges plus is is on the AQIS approved import list John, in case you can't find anyone with it locally.
