Wikipedia Abstract

Rosa cymosa is a species of climbing rose native to China, where it grows from the east coast in Fujian to western Sichuan at up to 1300 m, in warm areas in scrub and gorges, and in bamboo plantations. It is sometimes called the elderflower rose as its flower formation resembles elderberry (Sambucus) flowers. Rather tender, probably best grown in a greenhouse or conservatory in frosty climates. Flowers in late May and early June.
