Summary
Rosa arvensis, commonly known as the Field Rose, is a deciduous climbing or trailing shrub native to Europe, particularly in hedgerows and open woodlands. It is also found in the Caucasus region. This species typically grows to a height of 3 to 3.7 meters (9.8 to 12.1 ft) and can spread widely. The Field Rose is characterized by its arching stems, hooked prickles, and pinnate leaves with toothed leaflets. From June to August, it bears clusters of fragrant, white flowers, each 4 to 5 centimeters (1.6 to 2.0 in) across, with a showy yellow center. Following the flowering season, it produces attractive red rose hips that are appreciated by wildlife.
The Field Rose is valued for its natural, informal appearance and is often used in cottage gardens, wildlife gardens, and for naturalizing in rural areas. It is also used for hedging and as ground cover due to its sprawling habit. This rose prefers full sun to partial shade and thrives in well-drained soils, though it is adaptable to various soil types. It is relatively low maintenance but may require pruning to keep it in check. Rosa arvensis is susceptible to common rose diseases such as black spot and powdery mildew. Gardeners should be aware of its potential to spread and become invasive outside its native range, and it should not be planted where it may pose an ecological threat.CC BY-SA 4.0
