Rosa filipes is a species of flowering plant in the rose family Rosaceae, native to western China, in Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Xizang, and Yunnan.

The plant is very vigorous, with stiff upright stems protected by large and frequent thorns.

It is grown as an ornamental plant in gardens, valued for its unusually large clusters of flowers compared to other roses, sometimes also for its size, and its ability to climb into trees.

[1] The original plant dates from 1938 and the cultivar was named by Graham Stuart Thomas in 1951.

[1] It is particularly vigorous, with clusters of scented flowers up to 45 centimetres (18 in) diameter, and tolerant of shade, a necessary attribute for a tree climber.
