裏道でノイバラが咲いていました。学名をRosa multifloraといい、ラテン語でたくさんの花をつけるバラを意味します。ノイバラはこのたくさんの花をつける性質などからヨーロッパで園芸品種の改良に用いられ、現在の栽培バラの祖先として重要な役割を果たしたそうです。


"Noibara (ノイバラ)" trees are in bloom on the back road. They are scientifically called "Rosa multiflora" and it means "rose that bears many flowers" in Latin. Because of their characteristic of bearing many flowers, they were used in Europe for the improvement of roses. They played an important role as an ancestral species of cultivated roses.
