[Article "The Evergreen Rose: Rosa sempervirens by Gert Handschin]...in old rose books sometimes with the old names Rosa alba or Rosa atrovirens. In Italy is the name Rosa di San Giovanni also common...The foliage of the Evergreen Rose is light green and tender in spring. In summer they become leathery and glossy. In autumn she sows beautful discolouration from yellow to orange up to purple-red. Also these autumnally discoloured leaves often persist on the branches. A characteristic of Rosa sempervirens is the form of the leaves. The individual leaflets are narrow; they are mostly 3-4 times longer than broad. The terminal leaflet and the following pair are conspiciously larger than the others. Especially the bottom pair is generally very small. In addition, the leaflets, especially the terminal one, are pointed sabre-like and hooked.
Aside from this basic form, Rosa sempervirens shows a large variation in the form and size of the individual leaves...The great variability of this foliage has led researchers of wild roses to divide Rosa sempervirens into a large number of sub-varieties and forms. Observations show however that this variability is due to differences in the environment....Conspicious is the creeping or climbing habit. One finds the rose creeping on the ground in rather shady slopes, where it blooms rarely. In sunny hedges ..climbs up to 6 m high...The hips...are small and globular. The typical stylus column is also recognizable after fading....The glandular peduncle and sepals as well as the fine hair on the column differentiate it from Rosa arvensis....
