Described in Gerald's Herbal, 1597. First pictured by Conrad Gessner ca. 1561-1565.
Sometimes sets hips.
Robert Buist regarded Rosa lutea and R. sulphurea as the same, so please refer to both for more information.
Belongs to the Pimpinellifolia section (styles free, shorter than the stamens, blooms solitary, without bracts). Has doubly serrated and abaxially glandular leaflets like R. ecae and R. primula, but differs from this by its downy leaves, larger deep-yellow blooms and unpleasant fragrance.
