Description

Rosa spithamea is a small shrub growing no taller than about half a meter. The stem is studded with a few or many prickles. The glandular leaves are each made up of several double-toothed oval leaflets, the terminal leaflet up to 3 centimeters long. The inflorescence is a cyme of up to 10 flowers with pink petals each up to 1.5 centimeters in length. The fruit is a rose hip about a centimeter wide.

gollark: Also possible negative effects on apiometaspace, but those are still not a significant issue.

gollark: Yes, but they're expensive. It takes as much as *2 minutes* on some of the old GTechâ„¢ autofactories to make a replacement.
