Rosa arkansana - Prairie Rose
Prairie Rose (Rosa arkansana) is a subshrub perennial with densely covered prickly stems. Its leaves have serrated edges and alternate in groups of 7 - 11 along the non-woody stems. The pink flowers form on the upper stems typically in groups of 2 - 4 with five petals, and a ring of numerous yellow stamens. The flowers are replaced by bright red rose hips that are up to 1/2" across. It can be slow to germinate from seed (up to 2 years), but once established it spreads by rhizomes that become rather deep and give it great resistance to drought and fire.
