Rosa foetida

The stinking rose tree ( Rosa foetida ) or “bramble of Austria” is a species of Rosier originating in Piedmont of the the Caucasus in Georgia and naturalized in Austria from where it was brought back in 1583 per Charles of the Lock.

Description

Its stems are brown and its sheets which have 5 to 9 leaflets are green sharp with a hairy reverse. Its Fleur S yellow sharp exhaling a perfume little marked, soft and sour, that some find unpleasant, from where the name of the species.

History

It was cultivated apart from its surface of origin (for example, in Great Britain and in the United States), but one does not find it more in the gardens. And it is a species particularly sensitive to the Maladie of the black spots.

It is an important pink, insofar as it is the origin of the yellow color in the modern hybrids.
