Description

Rosa davidii is a winter hardy shrub, growing to a maximum height of 4 metres (13 ft). The narrow imparipinnate leaves have a length of 7 to 14 cm (2.8 to 5.5 in) and generally consist of seven or nine - rarely five or eleven - leaflets. Prickles are sparse to scattered along the stalks.

R. davidii is once blooming and has small, pink flowers with an average diameter of 2 to 4 cm (0.79 to 1.57 in). The flowers have five petals and appear in clusters of four to twelve. Its scarlet red rose hips are bottle shaped and up to 2.5 cm (0.98 in) long, and seem to be even longer due to old sepals remaining on their tips. [1]

It is probably a cross between Dot's pink hybrid tea 'La Giralda' and the wild rose species Rosa pimpinellifolia var. altaica, but is sometimes still described as a hybrid moyesii.

<i>Rosa blanda</i> Species of flowering plant

Rosa blanda, commonly known as the smooth rose, meadow/wild rose, or prairie rose, is a species of rose native to North America.

The meadow rose occurs as a colony-forming shrub growing to 1 m (3.3 ft) high, naturally in prairies and meadows. The roses are quite variable, the characteristics such as leaf tip number of prickles and glandular hairs usually do not always remain constant, thus it is often confused with Rosa arkansana or Rosa carolina, the two other prairie rose species.
