Rosa virginiana Mill.
Virginia rose, common wild rose, prairie rose
Virginia rose is native to eastern North America. Identification: This rose is 4-6' (1.2-1.8 m) tall, with erect, upright stems and stout, hooked thorns that are flattened at the base. Leaves are odd pinnate—in clusters of 7 to 9 leaflets, with the odd leaflet at the end of the branch. Each leaflet is 1-1¼" (2.5-3.2 cm) long, dark green, with serrations that point forward and are coarser than those of swamp rose. Flowers are pink, solitary, 2-2½" (5-6.3 cm) around, with a yellow center. Fruits are bright red, and ¼-½" (6.3-12 mm) in diameter. See our wild rose comparison guide for further information.
