Rosa canina
$21.95
Species Rose (known prior to 1737)
A classic rose often found in old hedgerows across Europe and central Asia. Blooms are pale pink to white and are borne in spring, singly or in clusters of 2 to 5 flowers. It grows as a large shrub with arching canes reaching from 3 to 15 feet, depending on climate. After the petals drop, shiny red hips, high in Vitamin C, are formed which are used to make tea and syrup. It was widely planted during World War II for its nutritional qualities. There are several forms of this rose – ours is nearly thornless. Shade tolerant.
