Stems erect or arching, 2.5–10 (–15) dm; distal branches tomentose-woolly, with stellate hairs, stipitate-glandular; infrastipular prickles paired, stout, 10–12 × 3.5–6 mm, internodal prickles and aciculi sparse, smaller, eglandular, rarely glandular. Leaves: stipules 4–8 × 1–2 mm, margins entire, often sessile or stipitate-glandular, glands sparse to common, auricles foliaceous; petiole and rachis puberulent, sometimes glabrous; leaflets 3, terminal: petiolule 1 mm, blade obovate, margins broadly 1-crenate, teeth 4–8 per side, abaxial surfaces tomentulose or glabrous, adaxial lustrous. Flowers 5 cm diam.; hypanthium: densely setose, setae 4–6 mm; sepals 12–20 × 1–3 (–4) mm; petals dark-pink. Hips subglobose, 10–18 mm diam., densely setose.


Phenology: Flowering May–Jun.
Habitat: Canyon rims and drainages, tops of cliffs, edges of mesas or plateaus, sandy to gravelly soil with limestone chips
Elevation: 1400–2300 m
