http://linnaeus.nrm.se/flora/di/rosa/fraga/fragana.html has this to say
(my translation):

"Description: Strawberry is not a species byt a cross (hybrid) between
two american species Chilean strawberry (F. chiloënsis) and Virginia
strawberry (F. virginiana), the thus caused hybrid was later crossed
with Hautbois Strawberry (F. moschata)."
