    Genus: Rosa

    rose
    There are several things that are particularly important to look for when identifying species of
    Rosa. Look at shoots with normal growth when assessing prickle size and density. Plants
    sometimes produce vigorous shoots with greatly elongated growth, identifiable by the absence of
    both abrupt color changes of the bark and annualscars normally found at the junction of the years
    growth. These vigorous shoots are usually much more densely prickly than the normal shoots and
    are misleading for identification. To check stipule structure, use stipules on leaves located near the
    base or middle part of a branchlet and not the top one or two leaves. If you need to check for
    bracts beneath the flowers, use stems with budding flowers because the bracts are shed
    early.Species described in the key as having pinnatifid sepals actually produce flowers with
    2 entire sepals, 2 sepals with slender lobes on both margins, and 1 sepal with slender lobes on only
    1 margin. A clue that a rose may be a naturalized European species and not native is the presence
    of a double corolla. References: Lewis (1957), Graham and Primavesi (2005), Joly and Bruneau
