Description

When full grown, ''R. primula'' will reach a height of 5-6 feet and a spread of 4-5 feet. It is best planted from November-May, and requires full sun and moist, free-draining soil. When it blooms in late spring, it produces small, single yellow flowers, which are followed by reddish-brown hips. The flowers and the foliage are aromatic. ''Rosa primula'' is a thorned species. Its leaves are double serrated and glandular, similar to ''R. ecae'' and '' R. foetida,'' and have been described as fern-like.
