DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

The vinegar rose, also called Rosa gallica or Gallica rose, is a plant from the genus roses (Rosa) within the rose family (Rosaceae). It belongs to the wild rose family and has been cultivated for a long time. Its area of distribution covers Southern and Central Europe.

General informationThis section has been translated automatically.

Rosa gallica is a deciduous shrub that reaches growth heights of about one meter. The branches of the plant are green and have curved spines. In addition, the vinegar rose has leaves that are 2 to 6 cm long. The leaf stem and spindle have glands and hooks and thus have a rather rough surface.
The plant blooms in June and July. During this time the flowers are usually erect and have bracts, petals and calyxes. The fragrant flowers have a diameter of 4 to 6cm and are light red to dark purple in colour. The rose hips are round or pear-shaped with a length of about 1.5 cm and are brown-red in colour.

Rosa gallica is the parent plant of Rosae flos.
