Smooth Rose, Early Wild Rose, Smooth Wild Rose, Meadow Rose, Labrador Rose, Wild Roses, Shrub Roses
Incredibly hardy and thornless or near-thornless, Rosa blanda (Early Wild Rose) is a vigorous, multi-stemmed, suckering shrub forming a dense mound of compound green leaves with elliptical, 5 to 9 leaflets. In summer, it is covered with a plentiful array of fragrant, single, pale pink to white flowers, 2-3 in. across (5-7 cm), with yellow central stamens. As an extra bonus, these are followed by bright red rose hips that are an excellent source of vitamin C. They persist throughout winter to the delight of hungry birds who will feast on them. This wild rose is a lovely addition to a wildlife garden and is useful in meadows, prairies, and dry hillsides where this colony-forming rose can freely grow.
