Comment/Acknowledgements:
A very variable species, especially in the type of indumentum. Numerous infraspecific taxa have been described so far on the base of the degree of pubescence and occurrence or lack of glands, but all these divisions seems to be fully artificial. In spite of its variability the species is rather easy to recognize by small fruits, sepals often deciduous together with the top of hypanthium, yellowish, usually curved and uniform prickles, white, rather small flowers, grossly serrate leaflets, green and often slightly glaucous stems. Rosa beggeriana hybridizes freely with Rosa webbiana, the introgression between these species seems to be common in many regions. Supposed hybrids and introgressants can be usually recognized by pinkish flowers, less curved or straight prickles, larger fruits etc. Cultivated as an ornamental plant. Its small petals are rich in ascorbic acid: 8.75% by dry weight of pulp (Juz., l. c.).
