Species of flowering plant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rosa stellata is a species of rose known by the common names desert rose,[1] gooseberry rose, and star rose. In Texas this type of rose grows on dry rocky places to 6,500 feet (2,000 m), such as the Trans-Pecos. It occurs in the mountain canyons of Arizona and New Mexico. It also grows in dry, rocky places.[2] It has trifoliate leaves, deep rose purple blossoms and yellowish white prickles on the petioles and stems. It is a perennial shrub with velvety, deciduous leaves.[2] Some horticulturists consider it to be a browse plant.[3]
