Appearance
''Rosa gymnocarpa'' is a shrub growing up to 2 metres in height. Its stem is covered with long, straight spines which may or may not be abundant.The fragrant flowers are flat and open-faced with five petals in most any shade of pink to almost lavender. Its fruit is a red rose hip containing hard tan achenes that contain the seeds. The sepals fall away from the hip earlier than in other species of rose, hence the name baldhip rose.
