Rosa palustris, also known as the swamp rose, is a beautiful shrub that can be found in wetland areas across much of eastern North America, from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick down to Florida and west to Arkansas and Ontario. This plant is highly adapted to wetland habitats and is often used as an indicator of quality wetlands. It is an obligate wetland plant with a 99% probability of being found in a wetland of some sort. The flowers are pink and are borne in pairs during the summer, producing achenes that can weigh up to 327 mg with seeds of 53 mg. The thorny stems bear alternate, pinnately compound leaves. The name "palustris" comes from the Latin word meaning "of the marsh," indicating this plant's common habitat. Rosa palustris is a delightful addition to any garden, as it not only adds visual appeal but also provides ecological benefits to wetland areas.
