Morphological characteristics of roses
An erect shrub, up to 2 m tall; stems stout, clustered; branchlets densely covered with tomentum, and with needle-like prickles and glandular hairs, with erect or curved, pale yellow prickles, the prickles externally covered with tomentum.
Leaflets 5-9 cm, 5-13 cm long including petiole; leaflets elliptical or elliptically obovate, 1.5-4.5 cm long, 1-2.5 cm wide, apex acute or rounded-obtuse, base rounded or broadly cuneate, margins with sharp serrations, upper surface dark green, glabrous, veins sunken, wrinkled, lower surface grayish green, midvein prominent, reticulate veins obvious, densely covered with tomentum and glandular hairs, sometimes glandular hairs inconspicuous; petiole and rachis densely covered with tomentum and glandular hairs; stipules mostly adnate to the petiole, the free part ovate, margins with glandular serrations, lower surface covered with tomentum.
Propagation of roses
Propagation is mainly by division; from leaf fall to before bud break, suckers can be dug from around the clump and planted. Cuttage propagation can also be used; for cuttage, use semi-mature branches after flowering in mid-June. After leaf fall, a trench should be dug around the plant and base fertilizer applied, and another application of fertilizer should be made when buds sprout in early spring, to promote branch growth and abundant flowering. Roses are harmed by scale insects, aphids, red spiders, and powdery mildew, and control should be carried out early once they occur. After four or five years of growth, one renewal and rejuvenation pruning should be carried out.
Flowers solitary in leaf axils, or several clustered, bracts ovate, margins glandular-hairy, externally covered with tomentum; pedicels 5-22.5 mm long, densely covered with tomentum and glandular hairs; flowers 4-5.5 cm in diameter; sepals ovate-lanceolate, apex caudate-acuminate, often with pinnate lobes and expanding into leaf-like form, upper surface sparsely pubescent, lower surface densely covered with pubescence and glandular hairs; petals obovate, double to semi-double, fragrant, purple-red to white; styles free, hairy, slightly protruding beyond the mouth of the hypanthium, much shorter than the stamens. Fruit oblate, 2-2.5 cm in diameter, brick red, fleshy, smooth, sepals persistent. Flowering period May-June, fruiting period August-September.
