Description:
Rosa nutkana also named Nootka rose or Wild rose comes from
the Cinnamomeae family. It is native of Western North America. Rosa nutkana is
a deciduous, woody shrub that grows up to 10ft and 4ft. wide. It is very fast
and easy to grow. Nootka rose makes an excellent wildlife shrub with its large
red hips as a food source for birds and other animals, and thick branches
providing cover. The plant blooms only once a year, but what a show! Masses of
large 2” single, pale pink to rose, (with a strong “wild rose” scent)
flowers clothe the plant in mid-summer followed by large, purplish-red rose
hips that persist in the winter. It is in flower from June to July, and the
seeds ripen from August to October. The plant is self-fertile and has very deep
roots. The shrub shape is open in forest shade and more columnar in full sun.
Hardiness zones: 4-9, (-32°C/-25°F, -5°C/25°F) in winter. The Rosa nutkana is
hardy, disease pest, and maintenance free. Likes the sun, or even in the shade.
Needs a well-drained, average soil and is adaptable to both dry and moist
soils.
