Rosa blanda

Common name: Early Wild Rose

Native plant

Early Wild Rose is a thicket forming rose and as the name suggests, blooms just before the rest of the native roses in our region. The flowers are pink with yellow centers that bloom late May to early June. The rose hips are red and half an inch wide. It has been said by numerous authorities that 3 rose hips are equal in Vitamin C to one orange. I have tried rose hips and concluded that I like oranges a whole lot better.
