Rosier inodore

Rosa inodora

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Rosa inodora faces severe pressure from habitat conversion as its native Mediterranean scrubland and rocky slopes are developed for agriculture and urban expansion. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while climate change threatens to shift suitable habitat zones beyond the plant's natural dispersal capabilities. Overgrazing by livestock in remaining natural areas further degrades the specialized soil conditions this rose requires for successful reproduction.

Threat summary

Habitat

Rosa inodora inhabits Mediterranean scrubland, rocky slopes, and dry hillsides with well-drained calcareous soils. The species typically grows in open areas with partial shade, often associated with other drought-adapted shrubs and herbs in elevations ranging from sea level to moderate mountain slopes.
