The bearberries and burnet roses planted there are living plants, and so is the clover.

The sandy beach is backed by dunes where a variety of flowers bloom: bluebells, cowslips, burnet roses and, to give it its common name, bloody cranesbill, amongst others.

The larvae feed on within the young shoots of Rosa pimpinellifolia.

Similar plants native further east in Asia, sometimes treated as Rosa pimpinellifolia var.

The larvae feed on Rosa pimpinellifolia and possibly other Rosa species.

The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips.

The larvae feed on a range of low-growing plants, including Salix repens and Rosa pimpinellifolia.

Rosa pimpinellifolia (I)

Burnet rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia)

Rosa pimpinellifolia, for example, a prickly character with cream-colored flowers, aka the Scotch rose, is notable for its shiny black hips.

Larvae feed on the leaves of some species of the genus Rosa, for example Rosa canina, Rosa majalis and Rosa pimpinellifolia.

Rosa pimpinellifolia (Burnet Rose) is a species of rose native to western, central and southern Europe (north to Iceland and Norway) and northwest Africa.

The larvae feed on Rose species, including Rosa acicularis, Rosa arkansana, Rosa canina, Rosa glauca, Rosa pendulina, Rosa pimpinellifolia, Rosa rubiginosa, Rosa seraphini, Rosa soulieana and Rosa tomentosa.

The authors have such contagious passion that I suspect a nongardener who picks up the book and starts reading could end up longing to grow Myosotidium hortensia, the spectacular but difficult Chatham Islands forget-me-not they grow in their lower greenhouse, or perhaps the Rosa pimpinellifolia.

The basic species type,Rosa pimpinellifolia (or, as it used to be called,R. spinosissima ) grows very well in most soils, but flourishes particularly in light sandy soils in which it can indulge its natural habit of spreading to form large prickly thickets by means of underground runners and suckers.
