A year of flowers #40: Wood's rose

Rosa woodsii

There's a copse of Wood's rose and snowberry in the Northeast corner of the property that was here when I moved here, although I think I was the first person to encourage it.  This rose is from that patch.  This native rose sprouts all over the property, though, and I have moved many sprouts to spots here and there in the prairie.  Like the Ponderosa pine, Wood's rose provides protection for many other more delicate plants, and the birds love building their nests in that copse.
