Virginia rose
Rosa virginiana
Virginia rose is a tough, adaptable native shrub that produces fragrant pink blooms in summer followed by bright red rose hips that persist into winter and attract birds. It tolerates a wide range of soils, including poor and sandy conditions, and is well suited to naturalized areas, coastal gardens, or mixed shrub borders. Prune lightly after flowering to shape the plant, and enjoy the low-maintenance beauty it brings across all four seasons.
