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. Seed provenance is Milford Township, Bucks County, PA. Zones 4 to 9.
I still have 2021-collected seeds left but am de-listing them, as they need a chilling period and it is getting late to do that outdoors. If you are interested in them and accept that they will require an artificial chilling period, please send me a message through my Contact page and I can re-list the seeds for you.
Collected in late October 2021. At least 15 seeds.
Please read the germination information as well before ordering.
