Botanical name: Rosa multiflora Family: Rosaceae (Rose family)
Multiflora rose is a thorny, perennial shrub with
arching stems, and leaves divided into five to eleven sharply toothed
leaflets. The base of each leaf stalk bears a pair of fringed bracts.
Clusters of showy, fragrant, white to pink flowers appear, each about
an inch across. The flowers superficially resemble
Himalayan Musk Rose. Small bright red
fruits, or rose hips, develop during the summer, becoming leathery, and
remain on the plant through the winter. Multiflora rose is native to
east Asia, cultivated in India.
