Rosa sambucina
is a deciduous shrub (semi-vine) found in forests in hilly
districts, climbing a cliff, or something with hook-shaped thorns.
Leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis, each of an 11-15 cm-long
imparipinnate compound leaf; leaflets, 2 or 3 pairs, 5- 10 cm-long,
long-oblong or oblong, tips sharply pointed, having keen serrations
on the margins. Terminal leaflets are more significant than the
others. Branch tops bear bundles of 10-20 5-petaled white flowers,
each large measuring 4-5cm in diameter. Bloom time: May-June. |
