Rosa pomiferaFrom Gardening WikiRosa pomiferaApple-bearing (Rosa pomifera.). A near ally of tls Scotch Roses (R. pimpinellifolia), a native of Europe (Britain), and long cultivated in old-fashioned gardens. It is very hardy, has glaucous foliage, and bears large single red flowers freely in June and July, which are succeeded by big brilliant scarlet apple or pear-shaped heps, that ripen in early autumn. A charming rose for the rough border, and succeeding under similar treatment to that accorded to R. rugosa. No pruning beyond thinning out the shoots, when crowded, required.
