Eglantine is a type of wild rose. Frodo and Sam found it growing in Ithilien as they journeyed through that land.[1] Eglantine Banks, Pippin Took's mother, was named after it,[2] so it probably grew in the Shire as well.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The name is used for the sweetbriar. It derives from French referring to the "dog rose", ultimately from Latin aculeus "spine".
