They die back to the roots each year so never get big. Pink flowers in May. Deciduous. Most well drained soils. Sun to Part shade. The flowers on this healthy rose start out dark pink and fade to near white, so when it is blooming you'll see many shades of pink covering this plant.
Flowers are single, with bright yellow stamens at the center.
It looks good on a pergola, arbor, or even growing into a tree. Hundreds of small red hips follow the flowers, so it is attractive even when not in bloom. This is a nice, lime-tolerant native rose.
