Perhaps the most striking of our American roses, the five-petaled bright-pink flowers grow in loose clusters, blooming from early to midsummer and fading to pale-pink in late summer. Attractive dark green foliage turns eye-catching shades of red and plum in autumn. Showy red rose hip fruits appear in late summer through fall, much to the delight of the birds. S/M
