This rose is Rosa pendulina, also known as Mountain Rose and also Alpine Rose. The rose originates in alpine regions – and so exhibits resilience in extreme conditions – but it prefers to grow in temperate sub-alpine regions and is thus found in climes all over the world.
Not only does this rose attract bees and butterflies, antioxidants derived from the Mountain Rose are used in skincare products because of their strong restorative and protective properties.
