Rosa roxburghii or the Chestnut Rose is a large, suckering, species rose from China and Japan that produces pretty, flat faced, double, pink blooms which can be quite ruffled in appearance.
the blooms have an unusual fragrance for a rose, smelling rather like a ripe pineapple.
It has a multitude of upright, thorny, peeling stems that are silvery brown and pungently aromatic while the foliage is mid green.
It makes a good informal specimen in the shrubbery and also goes well as a low hedge.
There is good tolerance for heat and humidity.
