Rosa clinophylla is a member of the genus Rosa native to the Himalayas, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.[1]
It is a large shrub growing to 6 metres (20 ft) tall[1] and it can grow in swampy areas such as the haors (or beels, jheels) of Bangladesh.[2][3] In contrast, modern roses cannot withstand waterlogging even for two days. Seen its tolerant characteristic in tropical regions, experts including A. F. Allen was attracted to it back in 1977.[4]
