The Rosa multiflora rose is a botanical climbing rose, very vigorous and floriferous.
It can be used to climb trees or to cover degraded slopes and, as it tolerates shade, it can be used on north-facing walls.
The fruit extract is used in cosmetics as a tonic.
The multiflora rose is used as a rootstock for rose cultivars in non-calcareous soils.
Deciduous climbing shrub with erect, arching, very thorny stems. Large clusters of white, solitary flowers with a fruity aroma in early summer. Its fruits - rose hips - are bright red in autumn and are an excellent food source for birds.
Prune in winter as necessary.
