description

The tufted rose is a broad- growing shrub that reaches heights of up to 3 meters and can also climb up to 5 meters. The relatively thin twigs are reddish or brownish green, they very soon lean over, and when they touch the ground they sprout roots, there are only a few spines or they are completely absent.

The alternately arranged leaves are divided into a petiole and a leaf blade. The imparipinnate leaf blade is 5 to 10 centimeters long and usually has seven or nine leaflets . With a length of 1.5 to 5 centimeters, the leaflets are obovate to elliptical with a pointed, pointed or blunt upper end, serrate, glossy green on top, dull green underneath and usually hairy. The stipules are conspicuously slit in a comb shape.

The flowering period is from June to July. There are up to 500 flowers on last year's wood in large, conical, paniculate inflorescences . Bracts are mostly missing. The flowers, which are relatively small with a diameter of 1 to 2 centimeters and smell of honey, have radial symmetry and five-fold with a double flower envelope . The sepals are ovate, pinnate, with glandular bristles on the back, turned back after flowering and lapsed. The five free petals are white. The stylus are long and fused into a column.

The rose hips , which are orange to red when ripe, have a diameter of 5 to 7 millimeters and are relatively small and obovate to spherical.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 14, less often 21.

distribution

Rosa multiflora is common in East Asia: Japan , China , Taiwan, and Korea .

In Germany, the tufted rose grows invasively v. a. along railway lines.

use

The wild rose Rosa multiflora is often used as a base for rambler roses and other tufted roses because their cuttings take root easily. It forms hybrids easily and has been crossed into many garden roses . Their ability to produce many flowers in clusters is particularly popular in rose breeding . One variety is Rosa multiflora 'Carnea' with tall growth and small, double, pale pink flowers.

As for bees is Rosa multiflora valuable. Their small fruits are seldom used. Rosa multiflora is hardy to −29 ° C ( USDA zone 5 ), fast-growing and well suited for hedge planting.
