 Grows in China's central and northern mountains and jungles low, in the yard or garden cultivation has more.Mainly distributed in China's Liaoning Province and the southern coast of the islands. Found in Liaoning Donggou, Zhuanghe, King County, Dalian, northern town, Jianping, Jilin Hunchun, Yantai, Shandong and other places. Born into tablets elevation 100 meters below the sea and sandy coastal foothills.

 Biological characteristics: Rose spread in the area warm humid areas, as directly affected by the impact of marine air with high precipitation, humidity, mild summer, not winter cold and so on. The average temperature 8-10.1 Deg C,January average temperature -5.3 -10 Deg C, the annual precipitation 650-1000 mm. Brown soil or sandy loam, soil thin. Hi Rose of sunshine, ventilation, good drainage, soil fertility coastal foothills and higher sea sand are growing stronger. Strong adaptability to the soil less stringent requirements in the thin layer of dry hillside and the rich coastal plains and salt terraces can be normal growth and development. Have some wind, sand-fixation capacity and strong roots tillers, under natural conditions in early June flowering ,September to October fruit ripening.


 Plant Part of Rose:

 Leaf: The clean, beautifully deep green foliage of this rose distinguishes it from most others. Each compound leaf is made up of 5-9 smaller leaflets, each heavily veined and wrinkled (hence the rugosa, for rugose).

 Alternate, pinnately compound, serrate, 5 to 9 ovate to elliptical leaflets, each 1 to 3 inches long, wrinkled upper surface, dark green and glabrous above, slightly waxy and pubescent beneath, obvious stipules at base of petiole.

 Flower: White or pink depending on cultivar, 2 inches across, single or double, appearing throughout summer. With colors ranging from white to yellow, pink, and purple, these gorgeous blooms can be either single, semi-double, or double.Opening in June, these 2 1/2 to 3 1/2" blooms sweeten the air and attract bumblebees with their fragrance. The blooms will continue sporadically until frost.

 Fruit: Shiny deep red, fleshy "hip", 1 each in diameter, ripens in late summer. View a larger version! Looking like clusters of ripe cherry tomatoes, the orange to red rose hips are oval and glossy, lasting until late autumn. Orange to red 1" glossy, depressed-globose hip containing achenes.

 Twig: Stout, initially green, turning brown, covered in thin, straight, sharp prickles.

 Bark: Light brown very spiny.The stems on this rose are incredibly spiny, densely covered in short, gray, needle-like thorns about 1/4 to 1/2" long. There is an advantage to this prickly barrier rabbits and other rodents aren't tempted to go out for a midnight snack with this plant!

 Form: A small sprouting shrub that forms a dense cluster, reaches 4 to 6 feet.

 Fall Color: Fall color varies widely among members of this species, ranging from yellow to bronze or an excellent orange-red. Certain cultivars are known for their better autumn coloration, including 'Albo-plena', R. x calocarpa, and 'Fru Dagmar Hastrup'.


 Propagation:

 This rose can be propagated by seed, softwood cuttings, or hardwood cuttings.If grown from seed, cold stratification at 40 Deg F for 90 to 120 days to prepare the seedcoat for emergence.

 Hardwood cuttings should be collected anytime in November through early March, then stored at 35 to 40 Deg F in sand or peat. When spring rolls around the cuttings should be planted outside with only the top 1" of the cutting protruding from the soil.

 Softwood cuttings are also possible from July through September. All but the top leaf should be removed, and IBA and 1000 ppm IBA talc or quick dip are recommended for higher success rates. The best way to propagate this species is through cuttings, despite literature suggesting the contrary. They should be gathered in June-July and dipped in 8000 ppm IBA-talc, followed by a brief dormancy cycle.

 Culture:

 This is an easy-to-grow species, although well-drained soil is key to its success. Slightly acidic soil is preferred, although the plant is adaptable enough for this not to make that much of a difference. It is extremely salt tolerant and can grow well in pure sand when I was vacationing in Maine, white and pink flowering forms grew along both rocky and sandy shorelines.
