Appearance
''Rosa pendulina'' is a climbing shrub between 0.5 and 2 m, rarely 3 m tall. The flowers are typically semi-doubled and deep pink to fuchsia, brightening towards the center. It can be distinguished from other members of its genus by its relative lack of thorns , especially higher up on the plant, its oblong fruits which hang downwards , its hispid peduncles and petioles, and its smooth stems and branches. The chromosome number is 2n = 28.Habitat
It prefers to grow in relatively warmer, shadier, and wetter areas alongside streams, in openings in forests, or on rock piles, between 350 and 2,500 m above sea level. It has been introduced to New England and can be found growing as a garden escapee elsewhere.References:
