Description
Native to eastern North America, swamp rose (Rosa palustris) isn’t a species you see often in gardens, but it’s worth considering if you have the right spot for it. The multi-stemmed plants typically reach 5 to 8 feet tall and wide with arching, prickly canes and deep green leaves. Fragrant, single pink flowers bloom mainly in late spring to early summer, often with some scattered addition blooms in midsummer, followed by small fruits that turn bright red in fall. As you can guess from the common name, it is well adapted to sites with moist to wet soil. Full sun. The seeds are from plants growing here in Bucks County, PA. Zones 4 to 9.
Collected in mid October 2022. At least 15 seeds. PA ecotype.
