Delve into nature's beauty withRosa Gymnocarpa, commonly recognized as Baldhip Rose, Dwarf or Little Wild Rose, this gem earns its name "Baldhip" and "Gymnocarpa" (meaning naked fruit) due to its unique characteristic where the flower sepals don't remain attached to the fruit. Its habitat ranges from southern British Columbia to west Montana and the southern California coast, favoring dry to moist open forests. Baldhip Rose stands out, typically growing to 2-5 feet and boasting many soft, bristly, straight prickles on its stems. Its leaves consist of 5-9 toothed leaflets and bear small, fragrant flowers in hues of pale pink to rose. Born singly at the branch ends, these enchanting blooms mature into small, red, pear-shaped, berry-like fruits, also known as "hips". These hips, devoid of sepals, serve as a critical year-round food source for mammals, birds, and insects. Particularly in the Pacific Northwest, deer find Baldhip Rose especially palatable in burned areas. Beyond its ecological importance, its charming, rosy accents, versatility in landscapes and an exceptional ability to grow well in shade, make Baldhip Rose an invaluable addition to any woodland garden. Add a touch of wild beauty to your space with the perennially charming Rosa Gymnocarpa.
