Rosa hispida (Sims.) By M. Geier, Garden administrator, Mittenwald.
...I planted a number of shrubs hereof in Spring 1916; they developed quite well until now, bloomed surprisingly beuatiful and rich this year....yellowish-white blooms on the short shrubs...Rosa hispida is among the early-blooming shrub roses one of the most beautiful, faithful and undemanding, furthermore it is fully hardy.

The canes are densely covered with weak bristles which have a reddish colour when young. The strong young canes have a firm upright habit. Foliage is abundant; the mostly 7 leaflets have a sharply serrated edge, dark green above, lighter underneath. Many short side shoots are formed. This rose should not be pruned before blooming.
