Notes:
  • “One might call Rosa rugosa the shar-pei of roses, because of the furrows that quilt its leaves (rugosa means “wrinkled” in Latin).  And like the dog, it comes from Asia.  But the resemblance ends there.  As prickly as they come, this is not a plant you’ll ever want to pet.  The Swedish botanist Carol Peter Thunberg (as in Rosa rugosa thunbergii, this plant’s botanical name) was the first Westerner known to set eyes on a rugosa in Japan where the seaside native goes by ‘Hama-nasu’ or ‘Hama-nashi’. Thunberg apparently garbled these words into Ramanas, the term he used in his illustrated Flora Japonica of 1784. Hama means “beach.” Nasu (“eggplant”) and nashi (‘pear’) refer to rugosas’ large red hips, one of nature’s best sources for vitamin C.” --- Brenner & Scanniello (A Rose by Any Name, page 241).
