rose bush

Fragrant garden shrub

A rose bush is a shrub that produces roses—woody-stemmed plants of the genus Rosa, typically thorny and cultivated for their fragrant, showy flowers.

Rose bushes range from compact garden varieties to climbing forms that scale walls and trellises: She planted a rose bush by the front porch.
