True to name, they lose their leafy sepals from the rosehip - hence the 'bald' (gymno = naked, carpa = fruit). Often grown from seed right here! Go genetic diversity... Fragrant pink blooms. A smaller, shade-loving rose with thorns all along the stem. Thicket-forming, but wildlife supporter (including native bees and many butterflies). Alias: dwarf rose
