Rosa mollis is a species of wild rose.[1] Common name: soft downy-rose.[2] It is most closely related to Rosa villosa.[3]: 98 Rosa mollis can be distinguished from Rosa villosa by its longer leaves and pruinose stem, which is absent in the latter.[4] Rosa mollis usually blossoms in Germany for approximately 5 weeks from the end of June to July[5]
It is native to the Caucasus[1] and parts of Europe: the British Isles, Scandinavia, and the lands around the Baltic. It has been commonly reported in isolated areas throughout the rest of Europe; this fact has prompted the editors of Atlas Florae Europaeae to raise the question whether these may not be cases of misidentification of either Rosa villosa or Rosa sherardii.[3]: 101–2
