Rosa moschata is a plant from the genus roses ( Rosa ) within the family of the rose family (Rosaceae). It is based in China.
description
Rosa moschata grows as a shrub that can reach heights of up to 2 meters. The imparipinnate leaves are elongated and gray-green and consist of five to nine leaflets . The flowers are arranged in loose, shingled inflorescences . The hermaphrodite, fragrant flowers are radial symmetry with a double flower envelope .
Culture conditions and cultivations
The wild rose Rosa moschata is vigorous, moderately hardy to −18 ° C ( USDA zone 7 ) and has hardly any spines. The flowering time begins very late - in August - and lasts for a very long time, so that the plant is sometimes incorrectly referred to as “more often flowering”. It is the wild form of the musk rose and was also used for the breeding of Damascus roses ( Rosa damascena ) and centifolia ( Rosa centifolia ).
