2. ROSA palustris. Swamp Pennsylvanian Rose.
This grows generally in swamps; rising to the height of four or five feet, with erect, and very prickly stems, branching out at top in a regular head. The leaves are composed of three pair of lobes, terminated by an-odd one, of an oblong, oval shape and slightly serrated, joined to a common footstalk with a few spines underneath. The flowers are single and of a damask colour; the hips or seed-vessels are of a dark red, roundish, depressed, prickly or bristly, and very clammy to the touch.

Does palustris have to have a wet environment to grow or can it grow in a shrub rose type environment?

Chris,
I have some palustris seedlings in pots that would frequently dry out (more than I would like), and they seemed quite happy. Under normal garden conditions I would imagine it would be fine. I am about to plant my seedlings in the garden in a position that is on the dry side and cannot foresee any trouble.

R.palustris is by far my favorite of all the species roses of North America. It has wonderful red nearly thornless wood, it prefers wet conditions, is a fast grower, produces many single petaled flowers, is very hardy, and has a wonderful late summer/early fall display of small bright red hips. This rose is perfect for those new to rose gardening as it needs very little care or in a nature garden as birds love to nest in this shrub and feast on the seeds.
