A superb native rose, Rosa woodsii (woods rose) has rose-pink flowers in early June.
The bright red hips persist throughout winter, and are used as food by birds.
A fast grower, the Wood’s Rose quickly reaches 4.’
This rose will survive in the harsh conditions from the Rocky Mountains through the Cascades, USDA zones 4-6.
It is drought tolerant, needs little sun and can survive on steep, rocky slopes with little topsoil. An excellent choice for difficult sites.
*****Be careful though they have been know to take over if not trimmed and managed on a regular basis in central Oregon*****
