Rosa roxburghii

Rosa roxburghii, the burr rose, chestnut rose, or chinquapin rose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to the eastern Himalayas, Tibet, and central and southern China.[1] In the wild it is found in thickets, mountain forests, on slopes, and alongside streams, typically 500 to 1,400 m (1,600 to 4,600 ft) above sea level.[2] A diffuse shrub capable of reaching 8 m (26 ft) but usually shorter, it is available from commercial suppliers.[3] In China it is cultivated for its vitamin C-rich hips on 170,000 ha (420,000 acres), mostly in Guizhou.[4]
