Rosa sempervirens

Rosa sempervirens leaves are glossy, compound-pinnate and evergreen. It is a bushy shrub that can reach 1.5 meters high, growing in hedges or forming thickets. Climbing forms can reach 3.5 m in height. The stems bear few, slightly curved prickles. The imparipinnate leaves generally have five leaflets, sometimes seven. The leaflets, lanceolate oval, shiny on their upper surface, glabrous, with tight edges, are 2 to 5 cm long. These relatively leathery, dark green leaves persist much of the winter. The white, simple, slightly fragrant flowers, 3 to 5 cm in diameter, are grouped together in sparse corymbs. They bloom in spring and early summer from May to July, or in spring and early summer. The fruits, globular or ovoid, orange-red when ripe, are about 1 cm long.
