About Big Pack - (500) Rosa Xanthina Spontanea - Manchu
Rosa xanthina, commonly called Manchu Rose, is a wild shrub rose native to open slopes and scrubby areas in central China. It typically grows on upright, arching canes 6 to 9 feet tall with a slightly larger spread. Reddish stems armed with reddish-brown thorns are clad with medium green fern-like leaves, each leaf having 7 to 13 small broad-ovate leaflets to 1 inch long. Single to semi-double yellow flowers to 2 inches appear for several weeks from late April into May in a dense bloom. Flowers have a musk fragrance. There is no repeat bloom except for a possible sparse smattering of flowers in early autumn. Flowers are followed by attractive spherical to ellipsoid red hips that mature in late summer and persist on the shrub into winter. Foliage usually produces insignificant fall color but occasionally an interesting blend of yellow, orange and red will occur.
