Rosa tomentosa
Species of rose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rosa tomentosa, otherwise known as the harsh downy-rose,[1] is a species of wild rose. It is a shrub growing to about 3 metres (10 ft).[2] It is found in Asia Minor, the Caucasus (where it may not be native), and much of Europe: the British Isles, France, Central Europe, northern Spain, Italy, and the Balkans (except Greece).[3] On the British Isles it can be found in hedgerows and woodland margins, and it typically flowers between June and July.[4] Further south, in Bulgaria, it flowers in May.[5]
