Species. Discovered in Western China in 1890 this special rose has simple yet beautiful red blooms with dark stamens. The foliage is a dark blue-green set on open thorny stems. Flowers in the summer only but rewards you thereafter with an abundant crop of orange-red elongated hips. Deciduous.

Rosa moyesii will tolerate quite poor soils. This rose should only be pruned very lightly immediately after flowering.
