Shining Rose, New England Rose, Northeastern Rose, Glanz-Rose, Wild Roses, Shrub Roses
Noted for its pretty flowers and great fall color, Rosa nitida (Shining Rose) is a dwarf, suckering, deciduous shrub producing many thin, reddish stems, densely-covered in fine prickles and bristles. Its foliage of shiny, pinnate leaves adorned with 5 to 7 slender leaflets, turns brilliant shades of red, yellow and purple in fall. In early to late summer, Shining Rose is covered with a plentiful array of sweetly scented, single, rosy-pink flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), with yellow central stamens. As an extra bonus, the flowers are followed by small, oval, bright red rose hips. They persist throughout winter to the delight of hungry birds who will feast on them. Shining Rose is a lovely addition to a wildlife garden and is excellent in mass plantings and as a groundcover. Native to bogs, swamps, wet thickets of northeastern North America, Shining Rose can also be planted along ponds and streams.
