Jin Ying Zi (Rosa laevigata) is a climbing rose native to fields, thickets, farms and low-elevation mountain areas in China. It was first brought to the U.S. in early colonial times. At one point, it acquired the common name of Cherokee rose (which it retains) in large part because it was being cultivated and widely distributed by Cherokee Indians. In 1916, under the mistaken belief that it was a U.S. native plant, it was designated as the state flower of Georgia. It has now naturalized throughout much of the southeastern U.S. from North Carolina to Florida west to Texas. This is an evergreen (in mild climates) climber that will grow to 6-20’ long on arching stems armed with hooked thorns. It also can be grown as a sprawling free-standing shrub. Stems are clad with trifoliate dark green leaves with coarsely toothed leaflets. Single, fragrant white flowers (to 4” diameter) with scalloped petals and yellow stamens bloom for several weeks in spring. Unfortunately there is no repeat bloom. Flowers are followed by large, bristly orange-red hips (to 2” long).
