Rosa pimpinellifolia, commonly known as the Scottish rose, burnet rose, or simply pimpinell rose, is a hardy, deciduous shrub native to Europe and parts of Asia. It is easily identified by its compact growth habit, small, pinnate leaves, and creamy white flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. The flowers are simple with a delicate fragrance, making them a charming addition to wild and cultivated gardens alike. After flowering, the shrub produces distinctive dark purple to black hips, which are rich in vitamin C and provide food for birds and other wildlife. This resilient species thrives in poor, sandy, or calcareous soils, often colonizing coastal areas, dunes, and rocky slopes. Its low maintenance requirements, along with its role in erosion control and biodiversity support, make the Scottish rose a valuable plant for both ecological and ornamental purposes.
