Rose - Carolina

Carolina Rose is a tough native Rose, blooming in May with bright pink fragrant single flowers.  Found in glades, swamps and pastures, Rosa carolina spreads by suckers to form a large patch eventually.  The vivid pink blossoms are followed by red hips in the fall which are a good source of food and vitamin C for birds.  Like most native Roses, Carolina or Pasture Rose is more disease resistant than most commercial Roses, including Rose Rosette disease.
