Carolina rose is a charming native shrub that produces delicate pink flowers in late spring and colorful rose hips in fall that attract birds. It prefers partial to full sun and average, well-drained soil; prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape. This drought-sensitive plant appreciates consistent moisture but should never sit in standing water.
