Pimpinellifolia Roses

These are the Scotch or Burnet roses, formerly known as spinosissimas, with the most delicate of foliage, low growing with an attractive mounding habit.  They are very hardy. Their flowers are generally very fragrant. They have lots of tiny prickles, sucker freely (although we don't find them too invasive) and have attractive black hips, like large blackcurrants. The ferny foliage turns fantastic shades of orange and red in autumn. So these roses have something of interest virtually all year round and are very easy to grow.
