Apple rose is a deciduous, perennial shrub reaching 4 to 6 feet (about 1.2 to 1.8 meters) in height. Its compact frame features dense foliage and pronounced single pink flowers that bloom in summer. Post-flowering, it produces noticeable large red fruits. In the fall, the leaves of apple rose transition to a soft yellow hue. The plant propagates through underground runners, aiding its spread in a garden setting.
