Botanical Description
Rosa stylosa, the short-styled field-rose, is a deciduous climbing or arching shrub of the Rosaceae family, native to western and southern Europe and parts of North Africa. It grows 2-4 m tall with long, vigorous, arching canes bearing scattered, stout, hooked prickles. The pinnately compound leaves consist of five to seven ovate-elliptic leaflets, 2-4 cm long, with serrate margins, glabrous to slightly pubescent above and paler beneath. The species is distinguished by the columnar fusion of its styles, which protrude conspicuously through the constricted mouth of the receptacle, forming a slender, persistent style-column nearly as long as the inner stamens. Flowers appear in early summer in few-flowered corymbs and are 4-6 cm across, with five white to pale-pink, slightly notched petals and numerous yellow stamens. The fruit is an ovoid red hip 1-1.5 cm long, ripening in autumn. It grows in hedgerows, woodland margins, and open scrub on calcareous soils.
