'''''Rosa glauca''''' ('''Red-leaved Rose''' or '''Redleaf Rose'''; [[synonymy|syn.]] ''R. rubrifolia'') is a species of [[rose]] native to the mountains of central and southern [[Europe]], from [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Pyrenees]] east to [[Bulgaria]] and north to [[Germany]] and [[Poland]].<br />
<br />
It is a [[deciduous]] arching [[shrub]] of sparsely bristled and thorny cinnamon-coloured arching canes 1.5-3 m tall. The most distinctive feature is its [[leaf|leaves]], which are glaucous blue-green to coppery or purplish, and covered with a waxy bloom; they are 5-10 cm long and have 5-9 leaflets. The fragile, clear pink [[flowers]] are 2.5-4 cm diameter, and are produced in clusters of two to five. The [[fruit]] is a dark red globose [[rose hip|hip]] 10-15 mm diameter. <br />
<br />
===Cultivation and uses===<br />
This rose was not widely grown in gardens until the end of the 19th century, when its refined wildness and beauty out of the flowering season first began to be appreciated. The flower petals fall off easily in the spray from watering hoses, as well as from wind and rain. The species is [[naturalisation (biology)|naturalised]] in northern Europe north of its native range, particularly in [[Scandinavia]].<br />
<br />
A [[hybrid]] with ''[[Rosa rugosa]]'' has been given the [[cultivar]] name 'Carmenetta'.<br />
