| Note varying leaf shape |
The dwarf rose flowers throughout the season with new flowers appearing even as earlier ones have 'gone to seed'. There seems to be a difference in leaf shape on some of the specimens included here. Hopefully I have not mixed and matched the species.
A prolific grower on the forest edge, this native rose produces a red fruit in the fall, though the flower is simple compared to many of the cultivars of domestic roses. They grow on a shrub that may be 6 feet or more high.
