Description

Rosa banksiae

Rosa banksiae is commonly known as Lady Banks’ rose which is a flowering plant in the rose family.  It is a scrambling shrubby vine growing vigorously to 20 feet tall.  Unlike most roses, it is practically thornless, though it may bear some prickles up to 5 mm long.  The leaves are evergreen with three to five leaflets with a serrated margin.  The flowers are small white or pale yellow.  It is among the earliest flowering of all roses, usually appearing during May, thought cold weather can delay flowering.  All Lady Banks’ roses are said to smell of violets to varying degrees.  The rose is named after Lady Banks, the wife of the botanist, Sir Joseph Banks.
