Symphoricarpos albus
Actual snowberries are white (hence the name), but the bloom is this lovely pink. They were on the property when I came here in 1991, among the native roses in the north fence row, and in a clump next to the front porch. We decided to plant something more civilized in that spot beside the porch (Clematis got the nod), and we dug up every chunk of snowberry out of that location, planting anything that had hairy roots attached. There was a LOT, but we dug up all of it, and even got the stragglers the next year, moving it out to various spots in the prairie where it has thrived and is welcome to spread, which is good because, like the Wood's rose, they definitely like to spread.
