description_en: Genus of 250 or more species of often prickly or bristly, deciduous or ever-green shrubs and climbers, occasionally herbaceous perennials, found worldwide in a range of habitats from coastal sand dunes to thickets, woodland, forest, and mountain slopes. The leaves are alternate and entire, lobed, palmate, or pinnate, each with 3 to many, usually toothed leaflets. The saucer- to cup-shaped, 4- or 5-petalled flowers are borne in racemes or panicles, sometimes singly or in few-flowered clusters, and are pink, white, red, or purple. Blackberries or brambles (R. fruticosus), raspberries (R. idaeus), and hybrids between these and other species are grown for their edible fruits. Ornamental species are grown for their flowers, their foliage, and sometimes their attractive winter shoots, and are suitable for a shrub border. Prostrate species provide good ground cover in sun or shade. Vigorous species are best grown in a wild or woodland garden.
hardiness_en: Fully hardy to frost hardy.
