Highly valued for its beautiful flowers, Rosa blanda, also known as the smooth rose, meadow/wild rose, or prairie rose, is a species of rose native to North America. It is closest to a “thornless” rose, with only a few thorns at the base. Its variable characteristics make it often confused with other prairie rose species, but its stunning white to pink streaked with red flowers are a defining feature. This deciduous shrub is a hardy perennial that can bear fruit, a good source of essential fatty acids and vitamin E. Its sturdy nature allows it to grow in dry, nutrient poor habitats, making it an ideal addition to any garden or landscape. Rosa blanda is a true North American beauty, offering beauty and function, both in nature and in the kitchen.
