also: はまなし
noun
rugosa rose; Japanese rose; Ramanas rose
A species of rose native to coastal East Asia, known for its fragrant flowers and large edible hips. Often found on sandy shores.

Alternate kanji spelling with reading はまなし; very rare.
The name ハマナス (hamanasu) likely derives from 浜 (hama, 'beach') + 梨 (nashi, 'pear'), referring to its coastal habitat and pear-like fruit. The reading はまなし is a direct combination of these elements.
