May Appeal 2026
Please help keep TSO growing!
IDS Trees and Shrubs Online has become a fundamental source of reliable information about cultivated woody plants, freely available to everyone, everywhere. We hope you find it useful.
For the first time we are asking our users if you could support us.
If everyone who uses TSO during May 2026 gives just £10, we would cover our costs for a whole year, enabling us to accelerate our work.

A shrub 4 to 8 ft high in the wild; prickles narrow, straight, slightly dilated at the base. Leaflets five to seven, elliptic or lanceolate, rarely obovate, to about 5⁄8 in. long, acute, downy beneath, obscurely toothed. Flowers up to seven or so in a corymbose cluster, pink, about 1 in. wide; pedicels slender, 1⁄2 to 5⁄8 in. long, clad like the receptacle with gland-tipped bristles. Sepals entire, abruptly narrowed at the apex, contracted at the base. Fruits orange-red or scarlet.
Native of W. Szechwan, where it is common in thickets at altitudes of 7,000 to 11,000 ft; discovered by A. E. Pratt and introduced by Wilson in 1903. A pretty rose, now uncommon in gardens, allied to R. davidii.
