List

A dog rose, it is in the subgenus Rosa, section Caninae, and subsection Rubigineae. It is a close relative of, and very similar to the sweet briar, Rosa rubiginosa, but with smaller leaves, white to blush petals, and very little odor from either the flowers or the leaves. Although it may be cultivated, most gardeners prefer the sweet briar for its scented foliage and pink flowers.
