Woodland Rose

Posted on May 22, 2019 by hernibs

Woodland or Dwarf Rose Rosa gymnocarpa

BC’s smallest and most delicate wild rose. Shrub to 4’ tall. Many weak prickles. Pale pink, dainty flower. Hip a small orange pear shaped.
Eaten by the natives to sustain life in times of starvation.
Growing in with our Nootka roses.
A wonderful scent I remember from my childhood in Red Deer Alberta.

Flower means: chivalry, romance

    I agree. Wish they’d stick around longer than they do.
