Rosa pimpinellifolia is a low-growing, dense, spreading rose that makes excellent groundcover. It has attractive fern-like, dark green leaves, and bears creamy white, single flowers in summer. Its autumn hips are an incredible shade of purple, almost black.

For best results grow Rosa pimpinellifolia in moist but well-drained soil, in full sun. It's perfect for growing in rock gardens, at the front of herbaceous or shrub borders, as low-growing hedging and in containers. As a shrub rose, it's best pruned in late summer, after flowering has finished. Prune most stems lightly. To encourage young, vigorous growth, cut back a few of the oldest stems each year.
