USDA Hardiness Zone (F): 3 (-40 to -30 F) - 10 (30 to 40 F). In Alberta, you can find this unique Wild Rose in bloom starting in late May lasting until early Aug. Mine bloom into warm Septembers. The fragrant flowers are bright pink with petals 3-5 cm in size can be used for the manufacture of perfume. The Wild Rose is classified as a deciduous shrub (bushy shrub) can be found almost everywhere in Alberta. The plant grows up to 5 ft. tall has "bristle like" branches. In the spring time, new green buds develop on the stems of the Wild Rose, they grow larger until they open up into the beautiful pink flowers that these plants are so admired for. When the Wild Rose is in bloom, its heavenly fragrance attracts bees, hummingbirds butterflies. As the flower begins to wither, it turns into a small oval shaped hard seed container called a "rose hip" which is also considered the fruit of the plant. They're very ornamental in fall, the pods turn a bright orange are very pretty. Wild Rose hips are known for their high vitamin C content are used to make, syrup, jelly, jams marmalade's. During this process, the hips are peeled of their skins mashed into a pulp with seeds removed. The hips of the Wild Rose are also gathered for the preparation of rose hip tea. Even the leaves flowers can also be used to make tea. These beautiful bushes flower endlessly all summer. They'll spread fill any sun lit area of your yard if the hips are left on the plant also spread by underground rhizomes. Mine are planted on my yard edges as my lawn tends to get dry there, as cover for these areas, that never stay green or gets missed w/ the sprinkler. They love the heat once established can take dry periods. You are sure to love these! Please message me with any problems I am sure we can work it out!
