Rosa Alpina Subsp. Monspeliaca

Rosa alpina subsp. monspeliaca is a rare and elegant wild rose native to the alpine regions of Europe. This subspecies is distinguished by its delicate pink flowers and finely divided, silver-white leaves. It thrives in rocky, well-drained soils at high altitudes, often found in mountainous areas like the Alps and Pyrenees. Due to its limited habitat, it is considered a vulnerable species facing threats from climate change and habitat loss. Its beauty and ecological significance make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists alike.
