List of Rosa species of the Balkans (original) (raw)

This article lists the 30 or so species in the genus Rosa (roses or briars) that are native to the Balkans. For the purpose of this list, the northern boundary of the Balkans is taken to be the straight line from Trieste to the Danube Delta. European Turkey is included, and so are the islands in the west of the Aegean Sea (including Crete), but the eastern Aegean islands fall outside the boundaries of this region.
