Rosa carolina 
This native rose conjures thoughts of a long country road, with weathered split rail fences covered in thickets of dark green foliage and simple pink blossoms.
 
The Carolina rose performs best in full sun, but also prefers moist soils, so proper mulching and low irrigation would be ideal. After the blooms are spent, bright red rose hips remain, providing food for birds and small animals alike. You can prune these colonizing roses to keep them in order in the late winter to early spring, before it comes out of dormancy.
 
Rosa carolina is one Dr. Robert Gegear’s list of plants that help support at-risk pollinators, so you can plant this native rose with confidence you are adding beauty to your landscape while benefitting many native insects.
