This is a very hardy shrub that can get quite big, possibly up to 10 feet tall. It blooms just once, with single pink flowers about 1.5 to 2 inches across. The foliage emits a nice apple fragrance, especially when rubbed. In the fall, Eglantine put on a nice show with lots of bright red hips.

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over_canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight....
