rosebush

Prickly flowering shrub

A rosebush is a shrub that produces roses.

The plant is thorny and requires pruning, making it a symbol of something beautiful but demanding: She tends her rosebushes every weekend.

Rosebushes come in countless varieties, from climbing types that scale trellises to compact bushes for borders.
