'''''Rosa chinensis''''', known commonly as the '''China Rose''' is a member of the genus ''[[rose|Rosa]]'' native to central [[China]] in [[Guizhou]], [[Hubei]], and [[Sichuan]].

It is a [[shrub]] growing to 1-2 m tall. The [[leaf|leaves]] are pinnate, with 3-5 leaflets, each leaflet 2.5–6 cm long and 1–3 cm broad. In the wild species (sometimes listed as ''Rosa chinensis'' var. ''spontanea''), the flowers have five pink to red petals. The [[fruit]] is a red [[rose hip|hip]] 1-2 cm diameter.

===Uses===
The species is extensively cultivated in China as an [[ornamental plant]]; numerous [[cultivar]]s have been selected, with varying flower colour and usually an increased number of petals (semi-double or double flowers). The species is also important in the breeding of many modern garden roses, including the [[Hybrid Tea]] roses.

The flowers and fruits are used in [[traditional Chinese medicine]] (TCM) in the treatment of irregular and/or painful [[menstruation]], as well as swollen [[thyroid]].
