Climbing Prairie Rose, Climbing Rose, Prairie Rose
Rosa setigera (Prairie Rose) is a deciduous shrub or woody vine with long climbing branches covered with lustrous, dark green, compound leaves that turn deep red and purple in the fall. The branches are studded with short, stout, and slightly curved prickles. In late spring to early summer, a profusion of mildly fragrant, 5-petaled, pale pink to rosy pink flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), are on display. They are adorned with a showy bouquet of golden stamens and tend to fade to white as they age, creating a beautiful bi-color effect. Borne in small clusters, they bloom for about a month. They are followed by bright red rose hips that are relished by hungry birds. Prairie Rose is a lovely addition to a wildlife garden and is useful in a location where it can freely ramble or climb.
