Flower and fruits
The musky, slightly bowl-shaped, white flowers appear once, in the middle of the season, in June to July. They have yellow stamens, are 4 cm tall and slightly double. The flowers hang in large umbels and are reminiscent of wild roses - or cherry blossoms. Numerous small rose hips that are orange-red develop from them in autumn.
