Additional Information: Climbing Prairie Rose is a vigorous native rose species known for its arching canes and clusters of fragrant pink flowers with yellow centers. This adaptable plant thrives in a variety of settings, from prairies and woodland edges to fencerows and gardens. Its flowers provide nectar for pollinators, including bees and butterflies, while its bright red rose hips offer a late-season food source for birds and other wildlife. Rosa setigera can be trained to climb trellises or fences, making it a versatile choice for naturalizing or adding vertical interest to native plantings.
