Rosa virginiana

Also known as Virginia Rose, this native North American rose is prized for its hardiness, adaptability, and ornamental value. It produces fragrant, single pink flowers in summer, followed by bright red rose hips that persist into fall and winter, providing food for birds and wildlife. The dense, thorny shrub makes an excellent choice for hedges, naturalistic landscapes, or erosion control.
