Rosa gymnocarpa
Wood Rose and Dwarf rose.
Wood Rose is a delicate sub-shrub that arches up to 3'. Normally 2'. A bristly slender shrub with fairly large fragrant pink flowers. This looks like a little formal perennial in cultivation. In the wild it looks wild. I've seen it growing under manzanitas in such a tangle that I thought I would not get out. Also growing along a road in the Santa Lucias in full sun looking invisible until it flowers. Wood Rose is native from our co.(San Luis Obispo) to Idaho,Mont. and B.C.. We've found it easy to grow. Garden tolerant, moderately drought tolerant. Its normal rainfall area is between 30-50 inches/year.
