The Burnet rose is a wild shrub rose for isolated use, for hedges, flowerbeds, rockeries and slopes.
Small shrub up to 1 m tall. Matt green leaves, sometimes with reddish hues on the upper side. Solitary, very abundant flowers, milky white in colour, slightly yellowish at the base, occasionally pink. Fruit spherical when ripe, brownish-black in colour.
Flowers in spring until early summer. Spreads thanks to its underground stolons. Habitat in moist soils, tall scrub and on slopes, on calcareous soils.
