Rosa palustris scandens differs from its single-flowered parent in that its flowers are double. The 'Swamp Rose' is a valuable rose because it will tolerate, but does not require, wet soil conditions that would quickly suffocate most roses. If you have a spot in the garden where the soil is consistently damp or poorly drained, 'Swamp Rose' is an excellent choice. The 'Swamp Rose', like most species roses, flowers once a year, in midseason, and the bloom is for a protracted period of six to eight weeks.
Flowers are loosely double, medium to dark pink surrounding yellow stamens.
