<\/b>Rosa foetida<\/i>, known by several common names, including Austrian briar<\/b>,[3]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> Persian yellow rose<\/b>,[3]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> and Austrian copper rose<\/b>,[3]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> is a species of rose<\/font><\/a>, native to the foothills of the <\/font>Caucasus Mountains<\/font><\/a> in <\/font>Georgia<\/font><\/a>. <\/font>It has yellow <\/font>flowers<\/font><\/a> with a scent which some find objectionable. Since there were no yellow roses native to Europe, its introduction from Persia was an important addition to the cultivation of roses, and R. foetida<\/i> is now an important contributor to the stock of cultivated roses.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

The rose is named for its smell–foetida<\/i> is Latin for “having a bad smell”[4]<\/font><\/a><\/sup>[5]<\/font><\/a><\/sup>\u2014<\/font>which is reminiscent of boiled <\/font>linseed oil<\/font><\/a>, a smell which some find objectionable.[6]<\/font><\/a><\/sup>[7]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> However, according to others “the smell is not all that bad.”[6]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The rose is described as a “spindly bush, not terribly vigorous,” requiring a stake or a wall, growing up to six feet tall.[7]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font>

Further to my recent posts covering Rosa<\/i>, I am attaching a couple of modest images taken as slides and scanned in. It is very difficult to expose well for yellow flowers (also white ones) in bright sunny conditions at altitude. <\/div>\n
I came across this rose whilst leading two botanical treks in the Miyah Nullah, Lahoul, H.P.<\/font><\/div>\n
Flowers of the Himalaya describe this as a native of W.Asia commonly planted and semi-naturalised<\/font> in Lahul.\u00a0 A medium-sized shrub<\/font> with heavy-scented rich yellow flowers.<\/font>
<\/font><\/div>\n
Stewart recorded from Baluchistan, Kurram, Hazara and Kishtwar.\u00a0He gave R.eglanteria<\/i> L. as a synonym.<\/font><\/div>\n
Koelz knew it as “Sewa serpo<\/b>” in Lahaul in the 1930s – “serpo” means yellow.\u00a0 Whilst Rosa webbiana<\/i>\/ macrophylla<\/i> was known by locals as “Sewa Marpo”.\u00a0 “Marpo” meaning pink.\u00a0 I think “sewa” means flower in general.<\/div>\n
See 2 attached images photographed beside a barley field.<\/div>\n
Hopefully members can take good close-ups of this rose in the years to come.<\/p>\n
