Rosa macrophylla is a native of the temperate Himalaya from 
Kashmir to Sikkim and the Naga Hills, and extends to the central 
and western provinces of China, reaching sometimes to altitudes of 
from 10,000 to 12,000 feet. It is quite hardy and ripens its fruit in 
England. Macrophylla is not a specially appropriate name, as there 
are many Roses that have larger leaflets. It is nearly allied to Rosa 
alpina L. and Rosa acicularis Lindl., differing from the former by its 
occasional pairs of stipular prickles, and from both by its more numerous 
leaflets. It is very variable in its prickles and in the size and shape 
of its leaflets. In an extreme form (var. minor Lindl.) it has flowers 
only i-R in. diam. and obtuse leaflets not more than in. long. Rosa 
macrophylla is not common in cultivation.
