Rosa sherardii (syn. Rosa omissa), the northern downy rose or Sherard's downy-rose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae.[2][3] A shrub reaching 2 m (7 ft), it is native to cooler parts of Europe, and has been introduced to the US state of Vermont.[1][2] In the garden it prefers a sheltered location in full sun with moist but well-drained soil.[2] More compact than Rosa tomentosa, its grey-leaved form in particular is considered under-represented in cultivation.[4]
