Winter Rosa Rugosa

The Rosa Rugosa is a suckering shrub which develops new plants from the roots and forms dense thickets 1-1.50 m tall with stems densely covered in numerous short, straight prickles 3-10 mm long. The leaves are 8-15 cm long, pinnate with 5-9 leaflets, most often 7, each leaflet 3-4 cm long, with a distinctly corrugated (rugose, hence the species' name) surface. The flowers are pleasantly scented, dark pink to white, 6-9 cm across, with somewhat wrinkled petals; flowering occurs in spring. The hips are large, 2-3 cm diameter, and often shorter than their diameter, not elongated; in late summer and early autumn the plants often bear fruit and flowers at the same time. The leaves typically turn bright yellow before falling in autumn. Photographed in Phillipsport, New York, USA. Created to reflect a wintry mood. Composed in Photoshop with layers, selective color and color images, filters, blend modes, and original textures.
