Rosa multiflora is a vigorous rambling rose native to Japan and Korea. For several weeks in summer, it produces large clusters of single, white flowers with a fruity fragrance, which fade to red. These are followed by lush red hips in autumn. It's ideal for covering a wall or shed, especially north-facing walls, as it's more tolerant of shade than other roses.

For best results give Rosa multiflora plenty of room to spread. Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in sun or shade. Mulch annually with well-rotted manure or compost.
