Rosa palustris (wetlands rose)
Rosa palustris
Wetlands rose
 
If you have a sunny, wet location that you are looking to add a pollinator magnet to, take a look at wetlands rose.
 
This native rose has a similar appearance to the Rosa carolina, but tends to grow taller and with strong, arching stems. Fragrant pink roses are a favorite of bees and butterflies, and the small red hips that follow provide food for birds and small mammals.
 
The glossy green leaves turn red in the fall, adding splashes of color to an otherwise fading landscape.
 
Plants can be purchased in-person or online (with in-person pick-up).
All online orders will be ready for pick-up 24-72 hours after purchase. You will receive an email to let you know when your order is ready. We kindly ask that you pick-up any orders within one week of purchase.
