'''''Rosa canina''''' (lit. '''Dog Rose''', often called incorrectly '''[[Rosehip]]''') is a variable scrambling [[rose]] species native to [[Europe]], northwest [[Africa]] and western [[Asia]]. It is a [[deciduous]] [[shrub]] normally ranging in height from 1-5 m, though sometimes it can scramble higher into the crowns of taller trees. Its stems are covered with small, sharp, hooked spines, which aid it in climbing. The [[leaf|leaves]] are pinnate, with 5-7 leaflets. The [[flower]]s are usually pale pink, but can vary between a deep pink and white. They are 4-6 cm diameter with five petals, and mature into an oval 1.5-2 cm red-orange [[fruit]], or [[rose hip|hip]]. The wild plant is planted as a nurse or cover crop, or stabilising plant in land reclamation and specialised landscaping schemes. {{Inc| Rosa canina, Linn. Dop Rose. Upright shrub, attaining 10 ft. or more, with often recurving branches: prickles stout, hooked: lfts. 5-7, oval or elliptic, doubly serrate, glabrous or slightly pubescent or somewhat glandular beneath, 3/4 -1 1/2 in. long: fls. 1-3, light pink, on usually glabrous pedicels; sepals reflexed, caducous: fr. ovate, orange-reef, or scarlet, glabrous. June. Eu., N. Afr., W. Asia; naturalized in some localities.—Much used as stock for grafting. Var. exilis, Keller (R. exilis, Crepin). Low form with small lfts. about ?in. long, and small pink fls. about 1 in. across. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== Numerous [[cultivar]]s have been named, though few are common in cultivation. The cultivar ''Rosa canina'' 'Assisiensis' is the only dog rose without thorns. ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Rosa canina blatt 2005.05.26 11.50.13.jpg|Leaf with [[stipules]] Image:Rosa canina2.jpg|Flowers Image:Rosa canina hips.jpg|Hips Image:Rosa canina.jpg|Hips Image:Upload.png| photo </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
