Rosa rubiginosa, commonly called sweet briar or eglantine rose, is a European species rose that has escaped gardens and naturalized along roadsides, in pastures and in open areas in many parts of North America including Missouri. It is perhaps most noted for its aromatic dark green foliage that releases a sweetly fragrant perfume (suggestive of apples) after a rainstorm or when brushed with the hand. It is a vase-shaped, dense, suckering shrub that typically grows to 6-10’ tall. Long arching canes are heavily thorned. Spicily-fragrant, five-petaled, clear pink flowers (to 2” diameter) with white centers appear in late spring to early summer (late May-June in St. Louis). Flowers are followed by abundant orange-red hips that ripen in fall and usually persist well into winter. Aromatic young spring foliage produces the best fragrance.
