Botanical Description
Rosa caesia, variously called the hairy dog-rose or glaucous dog-rose, is a deciduous shrub of the rose family (Rosaceae) usually 1–2.5 m tall with arching, prickly stems bearing stout, hooked or slightly curved prickles. The pinnate leaves comprise five to seven elliptic to ovate leaflets that are dull, often slightly glaucous and hairy on at least the underside, with glandular-toothed margins. Solitary or few-clustered flowers 3–4 cm across are produced in early summer with five pale pink to deep pink petals, numerous yellow stamens and styles that remain free at the centre. The fruit is a smooth, ovoid, bright red hip persisting into autumn. The species is native to much of Europe and the Caucasus, growing in hedgerows, woodland margins and on rocky slopes, and is sometimes treated as a subspecies of the closely related Rosa dumalis.
