Rosa hirtula, the sanshou-bara or Hakone rose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae.[2][3] It is found only in the vicinity of Mount Fuji and neighboring Mount Hakone in Japan, and is the town flower of Hakone.[4][5]
The pale pink, single flowers can be as wide as 7.5 cm (3 in).[3] Quite unusually for a rose, it can take on a tree-like growth form,[6] and reach up to 6 m (20 ft) tall. It has 4-9 pairs of leaves, the leaflets are each 1 to 3 cm (0.4 to 1.2 in) long. It flowers between May and June.[7]
The causal fungus of a rust disease of Rosa hirtula was thought to be a common species Phragmidium rosae-multiflorae. After a study in 2019, it was concluded that it was a species distinct from P. rosae-multiflorae; and a new name, Phragmidium satoanum, was proposed for it.[8]
