Rosa coriifolia Fries syn. R. frutetorum Best
Europe, Asie Mineure - cultivé depuis 1878. Haut. 1,50m - Feuilles: 5 ou 7 folioles, moyennes ou petites, oblongues à ovales larges, à base cunéiforme - Fleurs: avec de grandes bractées et de courts pédoncules - Fruits: long. 1,5 cm.
Cette espèce ressemble à Rosa corymbifera. L’arbuste, très ramifié, a les branches et rameaux souvent pruinés et porteurs d’aiguillons recourbés, tous égaux. D’un rose puissant, les fleurs éclosent en été. Les sépales, le plus souvent dressés, ne tombent pas avant que les fruits, plus ou moins ronds, ne soient mûrs. Une espèce encore mal connue, bien que mise au commerce
